BARNET SECURED A fourth-round FA Cup replay at Brentford after holding the Championship side to a thrilling 3-3 draw at the Hive on Monday.
With Swansea City awaiting the winners, Barnet followed up an away victory at Sheffield United in the previous round by again going toe-to-toe with second-tier opposition.
Brentford twice hit the same post in the first half before Ollie Watkins’ long-range strike found the bottom-left corner.
But Shaquile Coulthirst stabbed in following the interval after good work from Ephron Mason-Clark, and then doubled his tally amid a frantic scramble in the visitors’ area three minutes later.
A highly contentious penalty decision brought Brentford back into the match, though, as Watkins went down under no contact and Neal Maupay converted from the spot.
Brentford kicked on and looked to have settled the tie with Sergi Canos’ smart finish, yet a sublime free-kick from substitute Dan Sparkes pegged Thomas Frank’s side back once more.
Former Cork City and Limerick forward Chiedozie Ogbene was an unused substitute for Brentford on Monday, with the 21-year-old having joined the club on a three-and-a-half year contract in January 2018.

Would it have killed him to admit Real should be there too? The biggest club competition on the planet and they’ve won 4 of the last 5 and he rates them behind Juve and Bayern who have one between them in the last decade.
@Chicken George: He won’t. Lol. For a very good reason.
@Gavin Mitchell: he’s turning into Jose
Good one pep real have been the team of the Decade very ignorant.
looks like he wants to manage Juve next.
@Ardmore02: Barca have dominated in the league. He clearly says he rates the leagues as tougher.
Real behind Juve and Bayern? Pull the other one.
His standard three year tenure will be up soon. It will be interesting to see if he stays or goes on somewhere as he has done in the past.
