Never has a draw felt so divine for Swansea City. It was not pretty but in the end it was enough to cement their spot in the Championship play-off final. Matt Grimes’s classy first-half strike was a beauty but they also had to show a beastly side to tame a brave Barnsley.

Cauley Woodrow’s equaliser gave the visitors hope but Swansea held on to triumph and reach Wembley. There was a deafening eruption of elation and relief from every crevice at the final whistle but for their manager, Steve Cooper, it is straight back to work.
