Manager Paul Fairclough was delighted with his Barnet side after they saw off Swindon Town in a penalty shootout in a tense FA Cup third round replay.
The Bees edged home 2-0 on spot-kicks, after holding their League One opponents to a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes at Underhill, despite having Michael Leary sent off.
Fairclough told the Barnet Times: "I know we won on penalties, but I believe we thoroughly deserved the win. It was a warrior-like performance.
"What was remarkable was the fact we were down to ten men, but we kept our discipline. It was a fantastic performance.
"We are disappointed it's not Fulham in the next round, but it doesn't matter who we play. I love the FA Cup."
