Woking 2 Barnet 2

Last Updated : 26-Dec-2003 by

A dramatic equaliser from Raphael Nade saw Woking snatch a point in the final moments when Barnet looked to have inflicted what would of been only the hosts second league defeat of the season at Kingfield.

The former Welling United striker capitalised on a mistake by Danny Maddix to send the home fans home happy.

Neil Smith gave Woking an early lead but Ben Strevens fired in an equaliser - the first of two excellent goals from the lively striker.

Steve Ferguson came close to giving Woking the lead but it was the visitors who went in front after taking a grip in the second half.

Giuliano Grazioli did his job brilliantly by holding the ball up for Strevens who had a touch, before picking his spot with a fine low effort across Woking keeper Ashley Bayes and into the bottom corner.

The Bees were certainly on top as the second half unfolded and had no doubt responded to a talking to from boss Martin Allen at half time.

Bees substitute Anthony McNamee caused the home team a host of problems with his deep runs down the left and he and Strevens were the pick of the bunch going forward as far as Barnet were concerned.

Barnet looked to have wrapped up what would of been their seventh victory on the road this season, but Glenn Cockerill's Woking side have shown a lot of character this season and never gave up a loss cause.

It was deep into stoppage time when former Arsenal midfielder Ian Selley swung over a corner from the left in dreadful conditions. Maddix headed back towards his own goal and there was Nade to flick home a header in what was virtually the last act of the game.

"Any neutral fans coming to the game would have enjoyed that," said Barnet boss Allen. "I'm upset we gave away such a late goal but I was more than happy with our performance."
