Best and Morrison on target as Tykes see Kozluk sent off
Coventry City are the only team with a 100 per cent record in the Championship following a comfortable 2-0 win at Barnsley.
Chris Coleman's side followed up last week's success over Ipswich by making it two from two in the league on the back of a surprise Carling Cup defeat by Hartlepool United in midweek.
Leon Best fired the Sky Blues ahead early on and Clinton Morrison made the points safe after Barnsley's Rob Kozluk had been sent off.
Despite the Tykes making all of the early running it was Coventry who took the lead in stunning style with virtually their first attack of the game.
Sky Blues forward Morrison was brought down in a central position on the edge of the area and strike partner Best stepped up to smash the resulting free-kick into the roof of the net, leaving goalkeeper Luke Steele with no chance.
Normal service was resumed after the opener as Barnsley enjoyed plenty of possession, but they failed to really do much with it, a disappointing lack of quality in their final ball and some wayward passing letting them down.
Clear-cut chances were at a premium as the first half progressed, Sammy Clingan curled a set-piece off target while fellow midfielder Isaac Osbourne hooked horribly wide shortly before the break as Coventry looked slightly more threatening when they did venture forward.
Aron Gunnarsson could have all but sewn the game up for the visitors with 15 second-half seconds on the clock, but he failed to hit the target from around 25 yards having waltzed through the Barnsley midfield straight from kick off.
Positive
Coventry continued the second half in positive fashion and Steele did well to parry Gunnarsson's effort to safety, before Morrison put a half chance over the crossbar in the 53rd minute as the Tykes keeper dropped a routine ball into the penalty area.
The home side's afternoon went from bad to worse not long after as Kozluk received his second yellow card in the space of two minutes for a bad foul on Gunnarsson.
But the hosts responded well and Jacob Butterfield drilled their best chance of the game narrowly wide shortly after, while Iceland midfielder Gunnarsson again fired wide at the other end when he should really have done better.
Iain Hume made his return to action as a 67th-minute substitute for Jon Macken but Coventry started to turn the screw as the game entered the closing stages.
And Morrison wrapped up the points nine minutes from time with a well-taken volley from Osbourne's deep cross.
