Steve Evans' agonising wait for his first win as relegation-threatened Bristol Rovers manager continued as Adam Senior and Ryan Glover goals proved enough to earn a 2-0 victory for Barnet.
Barnet took control of a scrappy contest and made it count at both ends, while Rovers' fears of the drop deepened with a seventh successive home league defeat that left them a point off bottom spot.

The deadlock broke after 45 minutes when Senior knocked the ball in from close range following a goalmouth scramble, the chance arriving after Mark Shelton's free-kick had been headed on to the crossbar.
