Herbie Kane hit the winner for promotion-chasing Barnsley as they beat second-bottom Fleetwood.

The Tykes had led through Sam Cosgrove's header midway through the first half, but Bosun Lawal brought the relegation-battling Cod Army level with a stunning long-range strike.

Barnsley, League One's best travellers with just one away defeat all season, won via Kane's goal on the hour mark.

Cosgrove had sent a perfectly-placed header from Adam Phillips' cross inside the far post to give the visitors the lead.

But with just over half-an-hour played, Lawal let fly with a rocket that beat Liam Roberts' despairing dive and found the top corner.

Fleetwood had deserved to go in level at the break after Promise Omochere had headed wide from close range and Ben Heneghan's towering header was brilliantly tipped over by Roberts after the opening goal.

In the second half a chance at either end went begging as Ronan Coughlan was denied by Roberts and Nicky Cadden shot wide for Barnsley.

Kane restored the lead in the 59th minute, slotting into the bottom corner from another Phillips pass.

Fleetwood forward Coughlan was thwarted by Mael de Gevigney's tackle, and at the other end Phillips saw a fierce shot palmed away by Jay Lynch.

Home midfielder Gavin Kilkenny sent a powerful strike inches over in stoppage-time, and the visitors held out for the victory.
