FA Cup: Bristol Rovers 1-2 Barnet highlights
Substitute Byron Harrison netted a 77th-minute winner as Barnet came from behind to shock League One club Bristol Rovers with a 2-1 FA Cup first-round replay win at the Memorial Stadium.
The National League side fell behind in the 63rd minute when Rovers striker Tom Nichols ended a goal drought stretching back more than a year by tapping home from Kyle Bennett's cross.
But Craig Robson equalised in the 75th minute, reacting quickest to a chip into the box and lifting the ball over advancing goalkeeper Adam Smith.
Two minutes later Harrison slid in at the far post to convert a cross from the left by fellow substitute Dan Sparkes.
Barnet, who progressed to the second round for the first time since 2015, will host National League North club Stockport County in the next round.
Rovers should have been ahead by the break - Bennett was left with an open goal after a penetrating move down the right, but somehow contrived to shoot against the left-hand post.
Barnet striker Manny Duku reacted angrily to being replaced by Josh Walker in the 35th minute and lashed out at the side of the visitors' dugout as he left the pitch - manager John Still responded by banishing him to the dressing room.
