Reggae Boy Jon Russell was voted man of the match in Barnsley FC’s 2-0 win over Rotherham United in their Sky Bet League One clash at Oakwell on Friday.
Russell gave his side the lead through a goal from a set-piece in the 32nd minute.
He produced a header on target from a corner that was saved by Rotherham keeper Cameron Dawson. Unfortunately for Dawson, he parried the ball straight to Russell who then slotted home a left-footed finish from inside the box to net his second goal of the season.
Barnsley’s second goal came four minutes from full time when Stephen Humphrys latched on to a long ball to produce a shot from just inside the 18-yard box that went to Dawson’s left and into the bottom corner.
The win puts Barnsley fourth in the League One table on 25 points from 14 games. Wycombe Wanderers and Birmingham City occupy the top two spots with 30 points each from 14 and 13 games, respectively, while Wrexham are third with 28 points from 14 matches.
