Barnsley 3-0 Bradford: Tykes back on track
Saturday 12 January 2019 19:39, UK
Promotion hopefuls Barnsley got back to winning ways in impressive fashion with a 3-0 victory over Bradford at Oakwell.
First-half goals from Jacob Brown and top scorer Kieffer Moore put the Tykes in charge and Alex Mowatt sealed a comfortable win late on after visiting midfielder Adam Chicksen had been sent off.
Barnsley took the lead in the 28th minute when Mowatt's cross from the by-line found Brown at the back post and he headed the ball across the goalkeeper and into the bottom corner.
The home side, who drew with Luton in their last league match before being knocked out of the FA Cup by Burnley, doubled their advantage seven minutes before the break in exquisite fashion.
Mamadou Thiam majestically flicked the ball with his heel over a defender to Mowatt who guided a pass through for Moore to score from point-blank range.

He got on the end of a lofted pass from Brown, switched the ball onto his left and calmly slotted home.
