Daryl Dike bagged a brace as Barnsley continued their excellent form with a 3-1 victory at the Championship's bottom club Wycombe Wanderers.
Cauley Woodrow scored a penalty just before the break then Dike doubled the lead four minutes into the second half.
Captain Alex Mowatt was sent off with 15 minutes left but Dike netted another late on before a consolation goal for the hosts.
Barnsley are now unbeaten in 12 for the first time since 2002 at this level while they have equalled a club record of five successive away wins.
The Reds are now five points clear of the sides outside the play-off places.
In a bad-tempered and ugly match, Barnsley always had the the extra quality against their direct hosts.
Valerien Ismael made three changes from the side that won at Bournemouth on Saturday. Callum Styles, Dike and Michael Sollbauer replaced Jordan Williams, Toby Sibbick and Conor Chaplin.
The hosts had the first chance in the third minute when a left-wing corner by Joe Jacobson was headed at the back post by Ryan Tafazolli but blocked by the chest of goalkeeper Brad Collins.
Wycombe thought they should have had a penalty when Curtis Thompson went down after a clash of boots with Woodrow.
Barnsley then had a succession of corners and free-kicks but could not create any opportunities until Romal Palmer played in Dominik Frieser on the right of the box and the Austrian's powerful low shot was straight at goalkeeper David Stockdale who blocked with his feet.
Frieser came close again three minutes later but fired over on the left of the box from another tight angle. At the other end, Uche Ikzpeazu beat Callum Styles to a long ball and squared to Daryl Horgan who slid in but could get no contact on the ball ten yards out with the goal gaping.
The breakthrough came just before half-time when Michal Helik was judged to have been pulled back in the box by Ryan Tafazolli and Woodrow fired the penalty into the bottom right corner for his 13th goal of the season.
Daryl Dike then made it 2-0 four minutes into the second half as he nodded in from close range after Mads Andersen had headed a right-wing Frieser cross back across goal from the left.
Very little happened until Mowatt was sent off with 15 minutes remaining for a tackle on Scott Kashket. Dike made it 3-0 with a good finish on the slide from a low right-wing cross by Callum Brittain.
Ikpeazu pulled one back in the 86th minute when a cross from the left of the box was deflected straight to him and he fired in from close range.
Substitute Toby Sibbick could have been sent off for pushing over Jacobson who had tripped him over on a counter-attack.
Alex Samuel should have made it 3-2 in injury-time but headed a Garath McCleary cross wide when unmarked in front of goal. Another substitute Adebayo Akinfenwa was denied one-on-one by Collins after a fine pass from Kashket.

  • 7:13pm

  • 7:29pm
    Barnsley are starting to get a foothold on the ball now and pass it around better, which is the way to beat Wycombe - stretching them and passing through them

    31 Wycombe's Josh Knight takes a long throw on the right but it is headed clear and the two follow up balls are also cleared

  • 7:35pm
    Daryl Horgan is down with a head injury so play has been stopped
  • 7:38pm
    Barnsley had to battle through the first 20 minutes but since then they have played a lot better football, passing the ball around well and using their width by bringing the full-backs into the game. They have created two half-chances for Frieser but look the more dangerous sides
  • 7:38pm
    Horgan back on and the game is underway again
  • 7:40pm
    40 Jacobson corner on the right. Woodrow's heads clear

  • 8:16pm
    That was Mads Andersen's fifth assist of the season
  • 8:19pm
    YELLOW CARD
    Callum Styles booked for touching Jason McCarthy and he threw himself to the floor
  • 8:22pm
    One of Wycombe's American owners/directors is absolutely furious, storming out of the ground while swearing very loudly. Carlton Morris and Victor Adeboyejo, warming up, just look at him non-plussed as he walks by then
  • 8:22pm
    Palmer off for Halme
  • 8:23pm
    Sollbauer on for Sibbick and Morris for Frieser
  • 8:25pm
    All the players going off played well, especially Frieser who was at the heart of most of the Reds' best move and put the cross in for the second goal. He's getting better and better.
  • 8:29pm
    Jordan Williams on for Styles
  • 8:31pm
    Very little has happened in this game since the 2-0 goal, and that will suit Barnsley fine

  • 8:35pm
    The Reds captain did go in with both feet
  • 8:36pm
    Herbie Kane on for Cauley Woodrow
  • 8:38pm
    Into the final ten minutes now. Can the ten men hang on?

  • 8:41pm
    GOAL!
    Daryl Dike gets his second of the game!

    A cross from the left was deflected straight to the striker and he fires in from close range
  • 8:50pm
    Toby Sibbick is booked along with Joe Jacobson and Josh Knight
  • 8:51pm
    Sibbick could easily have been sent off after being chopped down by Jacobson then getting up and shoving over the home player

    FULL-TIME: Wycombe 1, Barnsley 3
