Paul McCallum double secures Eastleigh point from draw with Barnet

15 August 2023

Paul McCallum scored twice as Eastleigh staged a remarkable comeback to draw 3-3 with Barnet in the Vanarama National League.

The Bees looked certain to maintain their 100 per cent start to the season as they surged into a 3-0 lead after just 30 minutes.

Idris Kanu tapped in at the far post to get the ball rolling after 15 minutes and four minutes later it was two as Danny Collinge headed in his third goal of the season.

Kanu’s second looked to have wrapped the points up on the half-hour mark before McCallum got Eastleigh back in it on the stroke of half-time with a cool finish after a counter-attack.

Scott Quigley made the Bees sweat midway through the second half and McCallum earned a point seven minutes into stoppage time when he headed home.
