Idris Kanu headed 10-man Barnet into the second round of the Emirates FA Cup, with a 1-0 triumph at Chelmsford securing a trip to League One side Accrington.
Kanu popped up in the 73rd minute to nod in Ryan De Havilland’s cross minutes after substitute Sam Woods was shown a straight red card for a tough challenge on Chelmsford’s Louis Dunne.
The National League side had the best of the early chances in a goalless first half with Kian Flanagan denied 10 minutes in by a superb goal-line clearance from Eduino Vaz.
Woods was introduced at half-time but his evening lasted just 20 minutes as he went in high on Dunne and was shown a straight red card by referee Adrian Quelch.
