John Akinde and Charlie MacDonald found the back of the net in the first half to send Barnet on the way to a second win in the space of four days.

Gateshead were also able to join Barnet on six points as the visitors eased to a 3-0 triumph over Wrexham at the Racecourse Ground.

Jordan Burrow and Conner Robinson were the heroes for Lincoln City in a 2-1 victory over Altrincham, who have lost both of their opening games.
