Match Info

Barnsley secured an important 2-1 away victory at Reading's Select Car Leasing Stadium in a League One clash on January 24, 2026. This win demonstrated Barnsley's credentials as genuine playoff contenders, overcoming a resilient Reading side. Barnsley took control with two first-half goals, the second a spectacular volley from outside the box. Reading improved after the break and scored a deserved consolation goal to set up a tense finale, but Barnsley's defense held firm under pressure. The three points lifted Barnsley into the top six, while Reading's inconsistent home form continued to be a major issue in their season. The Barnsley boss praised his team's first-half performance as some of the best football they have played all season.
