John Akinde passed the 20-goal mark for the season and scored his third hat trick of a fruitful campaign as Barnet overcame Aldershot Town 3-1 on Boxing Day.

The powerful forward opened the scoring when he latched onto a long ball forward from David Stephens and prodded under Phil Smith.

Aldershot levelled as Jordan Roberts stooped to nod home, but Barnet re-took the lead when Akinde side-footed a second beyond Smith.

And late on the former Alfreton Town hitman completed his treble from 12 yards after being brought down by keeper Smith, who was dismissed for the challenge.
