Striker Jon Shaw struck his fourth goal of the season for the Bluebirds

Jon Shaw scored one and created another as Barrow struck twice in the final 15 minutes to extend their unbeaten run to four matches against 10-man Ebbsfleet.

Following Gavin Heeroo's first-half red card for picking up two yellows inside six minutes, United held firm until the 75th minute.

But striker Shaw then fired into the bottom corner before setting up Andy Cook to seal the win from 12 yards.

That completed a miserable day for visiting manager Liam Daish.

The Ebbsfleet boss, who was only able to field four substitutes, saw his problems mount when centre-half Paul McCarthy limped off midway through the first half.
