Barnet lost for the second time in a week at The Hive as Jamie Chandler’s 70th minute header secured three points for play-off chasing rivals Gateshead.

Chances were limited for the duration of the 90 minutes but Barnet might feel hard done by after Jack Saville was brought down in the box by Adam Bartlett only for the referee to wave play on. 

After a lacklustre opening 45 minutes the Bees introduced Luke Gambin and Jon Nurse but despite edging proceedings in the second period Chandler headed past Nick Jupp in the 70th minute to seal the points.
