Accrington boss boss Leam Richardson was less than impressed with referee Lee Collins after his side drew 1-1 with Barnet.

With 20 minutes to go Lee Molyneux brought Ricky Holmes down in the penalty area and although Mark Byrne saw his first attempt saved by Ian Dunbavin, Collins ordered a retake after deeming the goalkeeper had moved off his line too early.

Barnet midfielder Byrne made no mistake with his second attempt and cancelled out Romauld Boco's opener.

Richardson said: "I think we thoroughly deserved to get something out of the game but obviously the decision for the Barnet penalty didn't help.

"If you allowed someone to retake a penalty for that every time you'd have a penalty retaken every game.

"Nobody touched it afterwards. It was a great save for the kid and he makes him retake it."
