Comfortable victory for Bees

5:11pm Saturday 10th November 2001

Barnet 3 Woking 0

Wayne Purser and Ben Strevens, hat-trick stars in recent wins by Barnet, were again on target with splendid goals in a 3-0 home win over Woking.

Purser set the Bees on their way after nine minutes, racing on to Niven's through ball and shooting between the legs of keeper Tony Tucker.

Barnet continued to produce some fine attacking play, but didn't have things all their own way and skipper Greg Heald was fortunate to escape with only a yellow card when he held back Chris Sharplin, who had looked set to score late in the first half.

Arber put Barnet further ahead after 56 minutes. Mark Gower's corner was touched on by Strevens to Arber, who fired through a ruck of players from just inside the penalty area.

Woking's Scott Steele was sent off after 75 minutes for dangerous play after he followed through with a late challenge on keeper Lee Harrison.

Harrison had defied Woking with some fine saves as they fought back in the second half.

Barnet made sure of victory with a well-struck goal by Strevens in the 80th minute. He latched on to Lee Flynn's through ball and fired high in to the net from the edge of the box.
