Cambridge United 3-1 Barrow

Cambridge United leapfrogged Barrow with a well-deserved win at home.

In a first half dominated by the U's, Danny Wright set up Simon Russell to tap home from close range early on.

And on the stroke of half-time, Wright forced his way down the wing and pulled back, only for Paul Edwards to stab into his own net in desperation.

Barrow gave themselves hope late on, as James Owen rifled home a volley through a crowd of players, but a thumping Josh Coulson header wrapped up a United win.
