Scunthorpe United were beaten 3-0 by Barrow at Holker Street, a result that deepens their worrying run of form. The defeat leaves the Iron 20th in the National League, with just 10 points from 11 games and only one point taken from their last four outings.
Barrow scored all three goals in the final quarter of the match. Rekeem Harper broke the deadlock in the 68th minute, a goal he later said marked his third in successive games. Alex Reid added a second just three minutes later, and substitute Arian Allen completed the scoring three minutes from time.
Scunthorpe created chances, with Stan Ashbee and Isaac Marriott both forcing saves from Barrow goalkeeper Ben Winterbottom. Maison Campbell, in the Barrow goal, also made two good stops to deny Reid before the forward eventually scored. The visitors' recent form shows a pattern of inconsistency, with their last five results reading two wins and three losses.
The team must now regroup quickly for their next match, a home fixture against 13th-placed Forest Green Rovers on Saturday. Fans can check the full upcoming schedule on the club's fixtures page, while the current league standings show the tight battle at the bottom of the table.
