Adam Birchall and Dean Sinclair scored just after the restart while Ian Hendon and Magno Vieira also netted to turn around a half time deficit at Underhill.

The Cobblers did make the breakthrough just before the interval when David Hunt delivered a pinpoint cross to the far post which former Barnet striker Scott McGleish headed powerfully past Harrison.

But Birchall wriggled through the defence to score his first goal for Barnet on 48 minutes after Liam Hatch nodded into his path.

Minutes later a mistake by Sean Dyche allowed Birchall to find Jason Puncheon in space and his cross was headed in by Sinclair.

Hendon slammed home the third from the penalty spot on 66 minutes after an apparent foul on Puncheon before substitute Vieira added the fourth late on after Puncheon had again tortured the visitors defence to complete the upset.
