League leaders Barnet cruise to Boundary Park victory

Latics were thumped 3-0 at home by Barnet

Latics were well beaten at Boundary Park as Barnet maintained their six-point lead at the top of the National League table thanks to a comfortable 3-0 win.

Micky Mellon's side went close to breaking the deadlock just before the break when Mike Fondop's effort was pushed behind by Bees goalkeeper Owen Evans.

The contest swung Barnet's way in the space of 60 seconds soon after the resumption.

Zak Brunt swept home following a brilliant run after 50 minutes and the celebrations in the away end had barely died down when Callum Stead curled in.

Adebola Oluwo added a third in the 84th minute.

Latics boss Mellon said: "We absolutely deserve all the criticism that's going to come our way now because the second half just wasn't us.

"It wasn't what represents us and what we want to see representing us."

Latics, who are fifth in the National League table, are away at Boston United on Tuesday.
