A 97th-minute equaliser by Andy Iro gave Barnet an unlikely point at St James Park, by stealing a 2-2 draw from Exeter City.

First-half goals by Danny Coles and Scot Bennett put City in a commanding position at the break, which arguably could have been even more comfortable.

The City fans had to endure a nervous final 15 minutes – and an extra added seven – after Jon Nurse managed to squeeze in an effort in the second half.

And the unthinkable happened in the final throes as Iro snuck in his effort on the turn, to deny City what could have been a comfortable win.

City boss Paul Tisdale made a single change to the starting XI for the visit of Barnet.

The only alteration from the Oxford United fixture was the omission of Jamie Cureton, who took a seat on the bench, being replaced by Jimmy Keohane.

Exeter began with real intent and created some decent opportunities in the early exchanges.
