Derby County 2-1 Barnsley – ` Sport

Derby won the battle of relegation when they defeated guest Barnsley.

The Reds started very nervously, with a mix-up between Conor McCarthy and goalkeeper Brad Collins in the six-yard box, with Louis Sibley being thwarted by the stopper from close range.

The same two players will be disappointed after eight minutes of the opener as Collins missed a corner entirely from former Barnsley captain Conor Hourihane and the ball appeared to bounce off McCarthy for an own goal.

James Norwood was denied a one-on-one by home goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith, but Liam Rosenior’s side made it 2-0 when Tom Barkhuizen set up Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, who was unmarked, and fired from the edge of the box to the bottom left corner.

Barnsley’s Jack Aitchison capitalized on a golden chance, then James Collins fired wide at the other end when he seemed sure of a goal.

Josh Benson’s deflected 20-yard shot made it 2-1 midway through the second half, then Mads Andersen headed a Benson corner past the top right corner in injury time.
