Barnsley’s three-season stint in the Championship came to an end following a 2-1 defeat at Huddersfield on Friday night, one that also assured a playoff place for the hosts.

Huddersfield – who have now won four of their last five games – moved to within just a point of second-placed Bournemouth in the charge for automatic promotion, although Bournemouth do have three games extra to play. Barnsley dramatically stayed up on the final day at the same venue almost exactly nine years ago but it was a different story this time around as they succumbed meekly.
