Barnsley made it two wins out of two in 2025 with a convincing 3-0 victory over Crawley thanks to goals from Jon Russell, Max Watters and Davis Keillor-Dunn.
A strong start from the Tykes paid off in the 11th minute when Corey O'Keeffe's cutback from the right was turned in by Russell to break the deadlock.
Junior Quitirna had an opportunity to equalise for Crawley midway through the first half but lashed his effort over the bar.

Watters made it 2-0 in the 51st minute as the hosts broke forward, converting past Jojo Wollacott from inside the box after being played through by Adam Phillips.
Keillor-Dunn added the third just three minutes later, curling in a left-footed effort from the edge of the box for his fifth in six matches.
Crawley should have pulled one back with 20 minutes to go when Mael De Gevigney gave the ball away at the back but Rushian Hepburn-Murphy's effort struck a post and Barnsley cleared.
