Davids sent off for Barnet after elbow in dramatic late bust-up... then Wrexham snatch draw with resulting free-kick

Barnet player-manager Edgar Davids was sent off for striking after a heated exchange in the dying moments of their Conference Premier clash with Wrexham.
Wrexham's Stephen Wright, who wore Davids' elbow on his face while trying to wrestle the ball from the former Juventus and Barcelona star, was also shown a red card in the same altercation on the edge of the Barnet penalty area.
Once the dust had settled, Dean Keates then scored from the resulting free-kick to make it 1-1 with an impressive curling effort over the wall to cancel out Anthony Acheampong's seventh minute strike.
The drama wasn't over yet as Wrexham's Johnny Hunt came in with a flying challenge on Curtis Weston and was shown a straight red.
England C player Hunt showed remorse immediately after the game for the tackle which caused a suspected broken leg, tweeting: 'I would like to apologise for the tackle I am not that type of player or I did not intend to hurt the lad it was just a miss timed tackle.'
