TWO late goals earned Grimsby Town a dramatic 3-1 victory at Barnet this afternoon.
Christian Jolley put the Mariners ahead with his first goal for the club, before the hosts levelled ten minutes into the second half.
But as full-time approached, Craig Disley and Jon-Paul Pittman netted in quick succession as Town completed a 'double' over the Bees.
Earlier in the day, Lenell John-Lewis forged the first chance of the game inside the opening minute, but the end product didn't quick match his work-rate.
Jolley then gave Town the lead on 26 minutes, but the forward had Jack Mackreth to thank for the service.
And it could have been even more for the Mariners in a dominant first half.
Carl Magnay tried his luck from distance – on two occasions – while Nathan Arnold's snap shot evaded the target.
After the break, the leaders began to edge their way back into the match – and ten minutes in they were level.
Bees' substitute Conor Clifford, who had just been booked, curled a delicate 25-yarder past James McKeown.
And just as it looked like the sides were heading for a draw, Disley and Pittman both scored to earn a dramatic victory for the Mariners.
