Tykes make the difference

Barnsley look set to be serious promotion contenders this season - their hefty goal difference of +16 this season only bettered by Premier League champions Manchester City so far in 2018/19.

Last Saturday Daniel Stendel's team beat Peterborough 0-4 at London Road to boost this statistic - with Brad Potts bagging a double to bring his personal tally to 4 goals this season.
