Monty helps steer Heed through

The Tynesiders made light of being without ten players, six cup-tied and four injured, as they denied Barnet a Wembley return in the Trophy for the first time in half a century.

Gateshead stung a Barnet outfit looking to reach Wembley for the first time in half a century, with three goals in 37 minutes – Adam Campbell’s fourth-minute penalty followed by strikes from Louis Storey and Greg Olley.

Harry Smith gave the Bees a lifeline with a closerange header from Ben Wynter’s back post cross just before the break.

And that set up a tense second half which saw Barnet further reduce the arrears on 80 minutes through a Harry Pritchard penalty after a Carl Magnay foul on Courtney Senior.
