Barnet clinched promotion back to the Football League and the National League title with a 4-0 win over Aldershot.

A sold-out Hive hosted a promotion party as a pair of Mark Shelton penalties put them 2-0 up after just 20 minutes.

The celebrations were cranked up further when Callum Stead added the third six minutes into the second half.

Rhys Browne then teed up Stead for the fourth as the Bees clinched a return to League Two for the first time since 2018.
