Neil Harris admitted he was disappointed after Millwall crashed out of the League Cup as League Two Barnet sealed a 2-1 extra-time victory at The Den.

Martin Allen’s Bees took a shock 11th minute lead when they were awarded a penalty after John Akinde was felled inside the box by Byron Webster.

The former Ebbsfleet favourite was quickly on his feet to convert the spot-kick which he had just won, sending Jordan Archer the wrong way with a cool finish.

Lee Martin was unfortunate not to level when clean through, his low shot saved by Graham Stack, but the rebound was heading in until Sam Togwell scrambled the ball clear inches from the goal-line.

Michael Nelson produced a great reaction save from Archer early in the second half with Sid Nelson heading the resulting corner off the line.

Millwall were handed the perfect opportunity to restore parity just after the hour when Fred Onyedinma went to ground in the area under a challenge by Elliot Johnson.

Steve Morison stepped up to take the penalty and although it was well struck, sadly for the Lions striker the woodwork came to Barnet’s rescue and their narrow lead remained intact.

Only another fine stop by Archer denied Akinde and Barnet a second and they were made to pay 14 minutes from time as Morison atoned for his earlier miss by heading home from Shaun Williams’ free-kick.

Webster saw an 88th minute header cleared off the line as Millwall pushed forward in search of a winner.

But it was Barnet who won it on 102 minutes, Akinde brushing off Webster before teeing up Andy Yiadom for the simplest of finishes.

Harris confessed: “I’m disappointed because I wanted to win tonight.

“We want to win every game but I wanted to win tonight.

“I was disappointed first half, we didn’t control the game well.

“We were sloppy in possession. We didn’t look like the high energy in forward areas that I want and Barnet played well first half.”

The manager added: “In the second half we changed things round a little bit.

“There were a lot of good spells during the game during the second half. We controlled large parts of it, scored a good goalk and should have had another three or four.

“We go into extra-time thinking ‘Right, we carry on doing what we are doing’.

“To give a poor second goal away was extremely disappointing.”

It was an all too familiar defeat at The Den, something the boss is desperate to put right with back-to-back home league games now coming up against Coventry and Barnsley.

Harris said: “I told the boys I was disappointed.

“What we will do between now and Saturday, and after Saturday, we will from our failures tonight as a team - how we have to control the tempo of the game, how we have to control the game itself at The Den.

“That’s extremely important when you play for this club and I thought at times we made poor decisions, were rash in our decisions and we have to be calm.

“I’ve told the boys that we have to learn from our positive play, we always do, but we will also learn from our mistakes tonight.”
