Barrow running out of time after being swept aside by Walsall

Barrow running out of time after being swept aside by Walsall

Barrow were pushed deeper into relegation trouble with a 3-1 defeat at home to Walsall.

Mason Hancock’s first two goals for the Saddlers followed Albert Adomah’s opener at Holker Street.

Jovan Malcolm struck a late consolation for Barrow, who remain in the League Two relegation zone with just two games left.

Isaac Fletcher squandered a big early chance for the hosts as he fired over the crossbar.

Daniel Kanu went close for the visitors as he flicked a header over from Charlie Lakin’s delivery before Barrow goalkeeper Wyll Stanway produced a good save to keep out Kanu.

Stanway did well to keep out another Kanu chance but Adomah pounced on the loose ball to fire the visitors ahead in the 33rd minute.

And the lead was doubled as Hancock got on the end of Lakin’s low corner and smashed the ball through Stanway’s legs in first-half stoppage time.

Myles Roberts produced a good save to keep out Barrow striker Danny Rose from close range early in the second half.

Hancock wrapped up the points in the 68th minute as his low free-kick beat everyone before substitute Malcolm pulled one back in the 88th minute.
