Barnet climb to National League summit after battering struggling Ebbsfleet
Barnet moved top of the Vanarama National League after predictably outclassing rock-bottom Ebbsfleet and cruising to a 4-1 victory at the Hive Stadium.
Ebbsfleet, with just one league win this season, were blown away during a dominant first half when Barnet scored all their goals.
Barnet, 35 points and 22 places above Ebbsfleet before kick-off, made their presence felt with two goals during the opening 18 minutes.
Nicke Kabamba headed home the first then Mark Shelton’s volley eight minutes later left Ebbsfleet with a mountain to climb.
There was no way back when Rhys Browne’s long-range shot made it 3-0 in the 27th minutes then Ryan Glover added a fourth before the break.
Dom Poleon claimed a late consolation for Ebbsfleet with seven minutes remaining.
