Shrewsbury Town grab 94th-minute winner

Shrewsbury grab 94th-minute winner

Shrewsbury Town earned their first win of the season with 2-1 victory over Barnsley this afternoon, courtesy of Jordan Clark's 94th-minute winner.

The visitors took the lead in the seventh minute when Liam Lawrence's corner wasn't dealt with by the hosts and it bounced in off Mark Ellis.

Lawrence had already teed up a chance for Abu Ogogo before the opener, but the defender couldn't direct his header on target.

James Wesolowski only lasted 15 minutes though, and the Shrewsbury midfielder was replaced by debutant Larnell Cole.

The change seemed to affect the visitors and they were left to thank Jayson Leutwiler as he pushed Marley Watkins's strike wide.

Barnsley came even closer a few moments later, as Conor Hourihane's shot cannoned back off the post.

With half time approaching, Sam Winnall collected the ball on the edge of the box before turning a firing a shot beyond the reach of Leutwiler to draw his side level.

Clark almost put the visitors back ahead after the interval with a surging run and shot that skidded wide of the upright.

However, the forward was celebrating right at the death as his deflected shot found its way into the back of the net to earn Shrewsbury their first league win of the season.
