Barnsley returned to winning ways and extended their unbeaten run to nine games with a 3-1 victory over Portsmouth at Oakwell.
James Norwood and Nicky Cadden twice struck for the hosts in the first three and a half minutes and Colby Bishop’s reply immediately after the break was canceled out by Devante Cole, who sealed all three points.
The Reds hit home in the 17th minute after Joe Morrell lazily gifted away possession, with Adam Phillips breaking and putting it on a plate for Norwood to slot home.
The hosts doubled their lead three minutes later in superb fashion when Cadden cut in from the right and curled in powerfully from outside the area.
Portsmouth responded immediately four minutes after the interval when Bishop headed in Joe Rafferty’s cross to make it 15 of the season.
Barnsley ensured victory when Norwood turned from scorer to creator and teed up the onrushing Cole to take Barnsley’s third.
