An injury-time penalty from former Barnsley striker Chris Wood saw them lose 1-0 at Premier League Burnley in the third round of the FA Cup. 

The Reds saw a penalty given against them overturned by the video assistant referee midway through the first half which ended goalless after the visitors were the better side. 

The hosts were on top after the break but could not break down a resilient away team until Liam Lindsay brought down Matej Vydra in the box in injury-time and substitute Wood converted the spot-kick to cruelly deny Barnsley the replay their performance deserved. 

Daniel Stendel made two changes from the side that drew with Luton Town in League One four days earlier. Brad Potts, who had been sold to Preston North End, was replaced by Ryan Hedges with Mike Bahre coming in for Kenny Dougall to play behind striker Cauley Woodrow in a 4-2-3-1.

Barnsley made a very lively start to the match and were the better side in the first 20 minutes without creating any chances. They looked set to go behind when Dimitri Cavare was judged to have brought down Matej Vydra in the box, but the video assistant referee (VAR) system changed the decision as the Czech international was offside from the cross which led to the foul. 

Barnsley then enjoyed another decent spell but were reduced mainly to long-range efforts with Mamadou Thiam, twice, and Woodrow missing the target from well outside the box. They had the ball in the back of the net in the 44th minute but Cameron McGeehan’s header from Ben Williams’ cross was rightly ruled offside. 

Burnley’s ex-Barnsley loanee Kevin Long had the only effort on target of first 90 minutes when he headed Steven Defour’s corner but his former Oakwell club-mate Adam Davies tipped it over in first half injury-time.  The hosts should have taken the lead 12 seconds after the break but Dwight McNeil headed wide from six yards out after meeting Charlie Taylor’s left-wing cross at the back post. 

Thiam curled a 25-yard free-kick a foot over the bar then, at the other end, Burnley carved out regular chances as Taylor crosses were headed off-target by Sam Vokes and Vydra whose volley from just inside the box went into the ground and well wide. 

Top-scorer Kieffer Moore, who returned to the squad following injury, came on for the quiet Hedges just after the hour-mark as Barnsley changed to 4-4-2. 

Burnley dominated the ball in the second half but Barnsley defended well and Davies did not have a save to make until the last-minute spot-kick. 

In fact it was the visitors who almost won it late on as Alex Mowatt hit a 25-yard free-kick was just wide of the top right corner in the 87th minute then Woodrow blasted another over from almost the same position soon after. 

But it was Burnley’s game as Lindsay slid in on Vydra and this time the penalty decision was not overturned. Wood sent Davies the wrong way to end the Reds’ cup run and put Burnley in the fourth round.

  • GAME UNDERWAY
  • 12:32pm
     
    It looks as though Ryan Hedges will be playing on the left wing with Mamadou Thiam, who usually also plays on that wing, moved over to the right
  • 12:33pm
     
    1 Ben Williams wins a good header from a long ball which will give the teenager confidence on the biggest occasion of his fledgling career so far
  • 12:34pm
     
    Barnsley have seen quite a lot of the ball in the opening two minutes, passing it around confidently. but mainly in their own half so far
  • 12:35pm
     
    Not much has happened in the opening four minutes but Daniel Stendel will be pleased with the way his side seem to have settled into the game nicely
  • 12:36pm
     
    5 Dwight McNeil's right-wing free-kick is headed on by Ben Gibson then nodded towards goal by Sam Vokes but his fellow Wales squad member gathers easily
  • 12:37pm
     
    That effort probably wasn't going in from Vokes it was going tamely across Davies' box when he grabbed it
  • 12:38pm
     
    7 Bahre exchanges passes with Woodrow and gets in behind the home defence but he is flagged offside
  • 12:39pm
     
    It was a correct decision by the linesman but followed a good move which started with Lindsay winning a header as he has done several times already in this game
  • 12:41pm
     
    9 Another nice passing move in Barnsley's half sees them break down the right with Thiam but Bahre, running past his team-mate, seems to get an accidental touch on the ball which disrupts the Frenchman who miscontrols and loses possession
  • 12:41pm
     
    Barnsley have passed the ball around very well so far, confident to do so deep in their half in the hope of opening up the hosts to launch a counter-attack
  • 12:43pm
     
    12 Some clever play on the left sees Burnley enter the visiting box for the first time but Lindsay clears the left-wing cross to continue a good start to the game for the Scottish centre-back
  • 12:44pm
     
    A nonchalant back heel by McGeehan in the centre circle during another long spell of Reds possession epitomises the visitors' confident start to this cup tie
  • 12:45pm
     
    The Burnley-based radio commentators in the press box are already praising Barnsley for the start they have made to this game. The Reds have played some very good football but will want to make this good start count by creating some chances and ideally taking the lead against a Burnley side who have not got into their rhythm yet
  • 12:48pm
     
    17 Thiam has a shot from the best part of 30 yards and it deflects wide from a corner
  • 12:48pm
     
    17 Thiam's corner is straight at England goalkeeper Nick Pope who catches easily
  • 12:49pm
     
    Barnsley may have lost key player Brad Potts but it certainly hasn't damaged their confidence as they have played with a real swagger which belies the two-division gap between the sides
  • 12:50pm
     
    Cauley Woodrow is wearing number nine instead of number 25 following his permanent move after being on loan from Fulham in the first half of the season
  • 12:51pm
     
    Penalty to Burnley
  • 12:51pm
     
    Dimitri Cavare is judged to have found Vydra in the box
  • 12:52pm
     
    VAR overrules the penalty, giving offside against Vydra!
  • 12:54pm
     
    Well Barnsley have got away with one there but it seems the right decision having looked at the replay
  • 12:54pm
     
    Barnsley fans are now signing about VAR
  • 12:56pm
     
    'That's why you're going down' is now coming from the away end
  • 12:56pm
     
    That would have been a goal totally against the run of play for Burnley and it has just given the visitors and their fans a little extra boost following a bright start
  • 12:59pm
     
    28 McNeil crosses from the left, Vydra heads it down to Vokes who has efforts saved by first Pinnock then Cavare as Barnsley clear
  • 13:01pm
     
    30 Mowatt takes a corner from the right but Pope claims easily
  • 13:04pm
     
    32 Mowatt wins another corner after good work by Woodrow. Thiam scuffs the corner but it is missed by a Burnley defender and has to be scrambled out of the six yard box. The ball is recycled and Thiam tries to find the top corner from 25 yards but it is off target
  • 13:06pm
     
    Burnley fans think Adam Davies has handled the ball outside his box when he comes to the edge of it to catch a long ball. But the referee gives nothing
  • 13:07pm
     
    Cameron McGeehan is playing more of anchoring role than Mowatt today and doing really well, sweeping up in the middle, helping out his defence and starting attacks
  • 13:08pm
     
    We've just seen that Davies handball decision back and he is in the box, although it's very, very close
  • 13:09pm
     
    37 Thiam runs about 70 yards from the right-back area to the left wing where he squares to Woodrow whose shot is blocked
  • 13:09pm
     
    38 Woodrow shoots from 30 yards but it is well wide
  • 13:11pm
     
    Five minutes until half-time now and Barnsley will be very pleased with their efforts so far
  • 13:14pm
     
    42 Thiam, who is having a very good game, runs down the left and fires in a low cross which Bahre meets 15 yards out then sees his shot blocked
  • 13:15pm
     
    44 Barnsley have the ball in the back of the net but Cameron McGeehan's header from Williams' cross is ruled offside

    The away end chant for VAR but replays show he was just offside
  • 13:18pm
     
    45+1 Burnley's first real chance falls to ex-Red Kevin Long as he heads Steven Defour's corner on target but his former Oakwell club-mate Davies tips it over
  • 13:34pm
    This is Cameron McGeehan's disallowed goal
  • 13:35pm
     
    SECOND HALF UNDERWAY
  • 13:36pm
     
    46 Burnley should be ahead 12 seconds after the interval as McNeil meets Charlie Taylor's left-wing cross at the back post but heads wide from six yards out
  • 13:38pm
     
    That's a real let-off for the Reds who will have to be more alert for the rest of the game
  • 13:40pm
     
    Barnsley have settled a little bit more now and Thiam just ventured into the home box but his cross was cleared

    51 Woodrow wins a free-kick 25 yards out which Thiam curls a few yards over the bar
  • 13:44pm
     
    53 Taylor puts another cross in from the left and Vokes meets it ten yards out but lofts it well wide of the left post
  • 13:46pm
     
    Barnsley are getting their attacking players in plenty of space in the Burnley third as the Premier League hosts afford them more room than most League One sides who defend deep against them
  • 13:46pm
     
    54 Vydra has another half chance for Burnley but, after the ball breaks to him on the left, he hits it into the ground and well off target from 15 yards
  • 13:48pm
     
    58 Burnley are creating quite a lot of chances now as Taylor's cross is headed over by Vydra who really should have hit the target from close range
  • 13:49pm
     
    First change of the game sees Stephen Ward replaced by Icelandic international Johann Berg Gudmundsson
  • 13:50pm
     
    Taylor will drop from left wing to left-back with the substitute playing in midfield
  • 13:52pm
     
    Burnley have been much improved in this second half with four decent chances from crosses into the box but they are yet to make Davies make a second half save
  • 13:53pm
     
    Barnsley have brought Ryan Hedges off with top-scorer Kieffer Moore coming on
  • 13:54pm
     
    Hedges has been very quiet. Moore goes up front with Woodrow and Bahre moves onto the right wing with Thiam on the left
  • 13:57pm
     
    Barnsley have had to do a lot ore defending after the break but they are still holding the Premier League side midway through the second half
  • 13:57pm
     
    YELLOW CARD
    Ben Williams is booked for tripping Gudmundsson on the left wing
  • 14:01pm
     
    Barnsley fans are in good voice, they know their teams has put in a good effort today
  • 14:01pm
     
    70 McNeil turns Pinnock in the box but McGeehan gets back well to block it behind for a corner
  • 14:01pm
     
    71 The corner is cleared by Woodrow who has put in a good shift for his team this afternoon
  • 14:02pm
     
    Burnley fans are getting annoyed with their team here, especially Jeff Hendrick who has a good chance to cross in yards of space on the right wing but sends it tamely to Lindsay to clear with ease
  • 14:05pm
     
    Former Barnsley striker Chris Wood is coming on for Sam Vokes. Barnsley fans sing 'we all hate Leeds scum'
  • 14:05pm
     
    Into the final 15 minutes of this game now and Barnsley are within sight of bringing their Premier League hosts back to Oakwell for a replay
  • 14:07pm
     
    Barnsley make their second change. Thiam is replaced by George Moncur
  • 14:11pm
     
    80 England centre-back James Tarkowski finds himself well down the right wing but his poor cross is easily cleared by McGeehan who was brilliantly supported his defence this afternoon
  • 14:12pm
     
    Burnley have had a lot of the ball in this half but they have not really played at a tempo which Barnsley have found hard to deal with. The Reds have defended well and there have been no chances for 20 minutes
  • 14:13pm
     
    Mike Bahre is replaced by Kenny Dougall in Barnsley's final change
  • 14:15pm
     
    Into the 85th minute of what has been a heroic effort by the Reds.
  • 14:16pm
     
    Barnsley haven't created any chances in this game but they have defended very well against a side recruited for several times more money and who play two divisions above
  • 14:16pm
     
    YELLOW CARD
    Kevin Long booked for taking out McGeehan 25 yards out centrally. This is a big chance for a cup shock
