Barnet FC's winning streak was snapped by Newport County, as the visitors scored two second-half goals to win 2-1.
What happened?

The first half saw Barnet create several scoring opportunities, with Stead's goal being the highlight. However, Newport County's pressure paid off in the second half, as they scored two goals to take the lead.
Key moments
The deadlock was broken when Cieran Slicker's first-time clearance fell to the feet of Stead, who cooly slotted the ball past Jordan Wright for the opener. Newport County's equalizer came on 65 minutes, with Bobby Kamwa slotting past Slicker inside the area.
