Veteran striker Paul Furlong bagged a second-half brace as Barnet took a giant stride towards League Two survival by beating Rotherham.

Barnet were by far the better team and their top scorer John O'Flynn hit a post before limping off injured.

Mark Burchill and Drewe Broughton volleyed wide for Rotherham before Furlong turned smartly and coolly side-footed past Andy Warrington.

He sealed it by heading in a late cross - his 199th career league goal.
