Barnsley vs Brentford: Live Stream TV Updates and How to Watch (EFL Championship) 2019 (1-3)
Anyway, that's all from Oakwell and all from me. I've been Louie Elmer, that was Barnsley 1-3 Brentford, and thank you very much for joining me. Until next time!
Ollie Watkins is, unsurprisingly, man of the match, after a headed hattrick that makes him the division's top scorer.
A crucial three points for Brentford which lifts them well clear of the bottom three, but a damaging defeat for Barnsley who go into October in 22nd and look to be in a relegation dogfight now.
A bizarre Barnsley performance in many ways. They started so strongly for the first 25, 30 minutes, buoyed by that first minute Woodrow beauty. But once Brentford got back on level terms it was a completely different game and the visitors never looked back, and Barnsley- having looked so dangerous before the equaliser- struggled to get anything going in the opposition half.
FULL TIME: Barnsley 1-3 Brentford
That will indeed be that. A few boos ring around Oakwell as they've found themselves completely outclassed in this second half
Meanwhile Da Silva's low cross from the other side is also cleared, and that should be that
All a bit too easy for Brentford as they look to keep hold of the ball and run the clock down. Then a brilliant bit of play from Benrahma as he breaks forward, finds Karelis whose dangerous low cross is cut out before it can reach Henry
Three minutes added, and little chance of a Barnsley miracle here.
At the other end, Barnsley work the ball around nicely, Woodrow works it onto his left foot but fires it high and wide. How the home side could do with him repeating his first minute heroics...
And that's Watkins done for the day, getting a richly deserved standing ovation from the away fans as he's replaced Nikos Karelis.
Brentord get forward again, this time with Benrahma who gets some space on the right but fires well over.
Second sub for the visitors, Da Silva replaces Jensen who's gone down injured. Was going to be Mokotjo he replaced
Difficult to see Barnsley getting back into this really, they're not looking like creating much in these last 10 minutes. Brentford seeing the game out fairly easily at the moment
He gets it on target but Collins gets behind it comfortably. Not really enough to seriously test him, and he sends the ball forward for Barnsley to try and attack
Benrahma wins a free kick with some tricky footwork, and lines it up from about 30 yards out
Meanwhile Ethan Pinnock, the former Barnsley man, replaces Canos, probably much to the relief of the 11 men in red
Another penalty shout for Barnsley waved away. A ball into Shmidt, Jansson seemed to get an arm in his face and the striker went down. Nothing from the referee though
Brentford go close to a fourth! Watkins does well to lay it off to Benrahma who should have at least got his effort on target, but he drills just wide from inside the area.
Final change for Barnsley, Thiam replaces Cavare.
Barnsley will feel a bit hard done by though, as they could and probably should have had a penalty just moments before Brentford scored their third
Barnsley throwing men forward to find a way back into the game, Mowatt with a good cross in from the left and Shmidt can only turn it behind from a tight angle.
A hattrick of headers for Brentford's number 11 then, and he brings his tally up to 7 for the season. Barnsley haven't addressed the problems that Canos is causing Williams and they've been made to pay
GOAL! Watkins (68')
And at the other end Watkins gets his hattrick! Benrahma picks out Canos with the outside of his foot, Watkins is completely unmarked at- again- the far post, Canos picks him out and Collins gets a hand to the diving header but it still bounces over the line
Shout for a Barnsley penalty- Wilks again running at Dalsgaard, into the area and look to be dragged down by the byline. Reckon Wilks is very unlucky there
Wilks gets on the ball for the first time and drives forward with intent, winning two throws in quick succession
Oof. Woodrow chases down a clearance and the ball smacks him in the face from about 3 yards away, and he's poleaxed by it. He's ok to continue though
Double change for Barnsley. Malik Wilks on for Luke Thomas, and Chaplin makes way for Patrick Shmidt.
Should be 3-1 Brentford! Watkins got back on his feet quick enough and was in prime position for a tap in as Canos bore down on goal after getting in behind again, but instead the Spaniard goes for goal and hits the sidenetting. Poor choice.
Watkins is down in a bit of pain after a crunching tackle from behind as he received the ball on the edge of the area- won the ball but certainly Andersen left his mark
Jensen goes close! Good quick feet on the edge of the area, his shot is blocked and loops over for a corner. Jeanvier heads wide from the set piece
It's a good delivery from the free kick by Mowatt, picking out Woodrow who seemed to not be expecting it to reach him. He doesn't get nearly enough on his header and can only direct it harmlessly wide
Barnsley furious as they wanted the advantage- Rico Henry dawdled on the ball, the ball was poached off him by Thomas who he tried to drag down, then as the ball was chipped into the path of Thomas through on goal the whistle is blown for a second foul by Norgaad on Woodrow.
A decent ball in but Barnsley get it away- the ball's recycled back out to Benrahma who nearly gets through on goal with a mazy run stopped by a last gasp tackle
Brentford keep looking to catch Jordan Williams out with Canos looking to get into the space behind him. A deep cross from the right is nodded away by Cavare for a Bess corner
Brentford go looking for a third, Canos does brilliantly to get to the byline but his low cross is cleared as he looked for Watkins
Well well well. What a game Watkins is having. Two goals already, and practically a whole half ahead of him to nab a third. He goes on the hunt chasing down an overhit pass but Collins beats him to it easily and Barnsley go forward
Better from Barnsley as they attack down the right, the ball's moved back in to Mowatt. He shapes onto his left but curls it comfortably over.
GOAL! Watkins (46')
Wow! A lightning start but this time for Brentford. Watkins is at it again. It's another move down the right, another cross to the back post and another header at the back post. This time though, it's fair to say Collins should have dealt with Canos's cross much better. Got a bit under it
The teams are back out for the second half, no changes to either
Half time here after an entertaining first half. Barnsley took an early lead through Cauley Woodrow's peach from 25 yards, and controlled the first 25 minutes, but Brentford grew into the game and Ollie Watkins's header seemed to rattle the hosts who finished the half largely on the back foot
Barnsley come back to life! A nice move down the right, Brown gets a low cross in and Janssen puts it behind for a corner- safety first. The corner is dealt with comfortably by Brentford.
3 minutes added here
Barnsley holding on a bit here towards the end as Canos nearly gets on the end of a Watkins flick on, but Jordan Williams does well to beat him to it and clear
Barnsley, having been well on top for most of this half, suddenly look a bit ragged. Brentford playing some really nice stuff as they probe for another opening
That is ridiculous! A long ball catches Barnsley out, Watkins goes through and hits the post as he holds off two men, then picks himself up and hits the bar with the rebound, before Benrahma puts the second rebound wide when he really should have got it on target. Brentford suddenly the stronger side here
Barnsley will be kicking themselves. They've been the better team, had a glorious chance minutes before to get a 2 goal cushion but have been undone by a moment of quality from the visitors
GOAL! Watkins (1-1) 35'
Watkins does it again! His fifth of the season! Benrahma does brilliantly to hold onto the ball on the right hand side, then picks out the run of Jensen whose superb cross to the back post is nodded in by Ollie Watkins
Oh wow! Chaplin should have scored there. Woodrow does brilliantly to pick out Thomas who beats Raya to the ball, and squares it across to Chaplin who from just inside the area sees his effort blocked by Janssen
Brentford have grown into the game over the last 10/15 minutes, using the ball a bit better, but still that Canos effort remains their only real chance.
Barnsley get forward again, Luke Thomas with a left footed effort from the edge of the box but it's comfortable for Raya.
Menawhile Jensen gets to the byline and his cutback is into a dangerous area but there's no-one in black attacking it
Home fans aren't happy there wasn't a flag for offside there
Chance for Brentford! Watkins gets in down the left and his pull back is into the path of Canos, who forces a save from Collins. Barnsley deal with the ball back in well enough but signs of life for the visitors
Corner for Brentford- the first time they've got forward really- but it comes to nothing and immediately Barnsley go on the attack.
Jeanvier looks in some trouble here... coming together with Mowatt, nothing untoward but his left leg got trapped slightly it looks like and he went down clutching the back of his knee.
Woodrow has the ball in the back of the net again but he couldn't quite time his run and was just offside after a nice through ball
Barnsley pressing really well in fairness to them, not making it easy for the Bees. They win the ball in midfield and spread out to Brown on the right who can't beat the man with his cross.
Brentford look a bit sluggish in the first fifteen here. Not using the ball well at all when they get possession
The corner once again is straight into the hands of Raya. Bit of a waste that
Woodrow takes aim again with a first time effort but his low effort takes a slight nick and goes wide for a corner. Jeanvier took a slight knock as he attempted to block but should be ok.
More danger as a diagonal ball finds Jacob Brown who beats his man, but his low cross is put behind for a corner. The corner sails straight into David Raya's arms.
GOAL! Cauley Woodrow (Barnsley) 1-0 2'
THAT'S BRILLIANT! Just over a minute on the clock and Barnsley have taken the lead, and it's a beauty! Barnsley come forward again, the ball falls to Cauley Woodrow 25 yards out who lets the ball come across him and curls a fantastic effort into the top corner. Super strike that
And we're underway! Barnsley immediately on the front foot finding space down the left, but Brentford get it away.
Just five minutes away from kick off now- is it too early in the season to call it a six pointer? Certainly has the feel of being a crucial match at the wrong end of the table...
Hopefully both teams can find their shooting boots today; Barnsley have just four goals in their eight games so far whilst Brentford haven't fared much better with five in their eight.
