Barnet opened up a two-point lead at the top of the National League table with a 2-0 victory over Fylde.

Callum Stead came within inches of opening the scoring just before half-time but his right-foot shot struck the far post.

The Bees did make the breakthrough in the 57th minute, though, Zak Brunt’s ball into the box falling kindly for Nicke Kabamba, who rounded the goalkeeper.

It took Barnet until injury time to find a second, which arrived when Ben Coker’s cross from the left picked out Stead.
