In fact, Posh have won 2-0 on their last two visits to this part of Yorkshire.

Can they make it three in a row both at Oakwell and in the league this season?

Ricky sldies a ball into the danger area, Roberts dives on top if it. About 30 seconds on the clock but there were the subs.

Ajiboye and De Havilland on

Collins and Randall off

Kyprianou heads out a corner and Edwards brings it all the way over halfway to bring the clock down more.

The 90 is done, Knight sends a deflected effort out of the Posh box.

Last action for Styles, Mael De Gevigney comes on.

Poku off for Posh, Knight on.

Three at the back now.

Corner Barnsley, headed out by Kyprianou, drived well over on the volley by Styles.

He’s got his goal.

Poku smashes into the top corner. Outstanding play, getting onto Ricky’s cut back cross, driving past Kitching and smashing it into the top corner.

Barnsley right on top now, things have turned on its head since the goal.

Cotter goes over easily on the left corner of the box. Ricky was there but hardly affected him. Dangerous area

Hits Ricky right in the middrift

Now Barnsley wake up.

Weird how they just stopped at 1-0.

So much space for Cadden on the left to shoot, left alone by Kioso. Shoots across Bilokapic but saved well.

Lopata wins the header from the corner at the backpost but heads over.

JCH has arrived for the season. Collins again the architect, finds Poku on hte right, bursts into the box and plays a ball right across the line and JCH is there to simply tap it in.

Great first-time finish.

Collins picked out Kioso on the right with a lovely cross-feild ball. He cuts it back on the edge of the box and it’s a first time slot into the new again.

71 mins 1-0 Barnsley

Burrows is having a hard time dealing with Cotter, as he has all game.

Fires a ball across goal, Poku finally clears it at the third attempt.
