Mellis wins it for Barnsley

Barnsley have fought back from a goal down at half time to triumph over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Oakwell.

The visitors took an early lead in the seventh minute as Bjorn Bergmann Sigudarson went around Luke Steele and rolled into the net.

Jamie O'Hara came close to doubling Wolves' lead, but his shot came back off the underside of the bar.

Wolves were the better team in the first 45 minutes, but the hosts started strongly in the second half and were back on level terms in the 49th minute.

Chris Dagnall beat Carl Ikeme with a header to send the home fans into raptures, and the Tykes continued to press forward after the goal.

They were rewarded in the 73rd minute when Jacob Mellis's shot took a deflection that diverted the ball past Ikeme.
