Barrow come from behind to beat 10-man Colchester

Barrow secured a 4-1 win at 10-man Colchester to extend their unbeaten league run to a club-record nine games.

Colchester went ahead in the 20th minute through Cameron McGeehan, who netted from close range after goalkeeper Paul Farman had spilled Jayden Fevrier’s effort.

Barrow were denied a penalty when Robbie Gotts tumbled in the area much to the frustration of Barrow boss Pete Wild, who was dismissed by referee Declan Bourne just after the half-time whistle.

Barrow equalised in the 52nd minute when Dominic Telford’s effort hit the crossbar, struck Colchester defender Will Greenidge and went in.

Fevrier was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 84th minute after a foul on Elliot Newby before George Ray put Barrow ahead two minutes later from close range, after Colchester had failed to clear a Newby corner.

Ray converted a third from close range in the third minute of stoppage time.

And Zach Mitchell diverted Kian Spence’s cross into his own net a minute later, as Barrow sealed victory.
