Cup dream over before it begins for Barnet

Manchester United 4 Barnet 1

Barnet keeper Ross Flitney had advanced a few yards out of his area as Barnet pushed forward but when United countered, the goalkeeper got his measurements wrong and plucked a routine pass forward out of the air a yard before the ball had gone back into the area.

Virtually to a man, the 43,673 crowd disapproved of referee Beeby’s decision to wave the red card in Flitney’s face.
