McGoldrick Double Act Lifts Barnsley Past Exeter Amid Fan Protest

· Match Report

Barnsley moved into the top half of League One with a 2-1 win against Exeter City, secured against the backdrop of a fan protest against the club's ownership.

David McGoldrick and Vimal Yoganathan put the hosts 2-0 up before the game was stopped after home fans threw tennis balls on to the pitch midway through the first half. Jayden Wareham's 16th goal of the season with 15 minutes to play turned out to be just a consolation.

McGoldrick Strikes Then Supplies

McGoldrick opened the scoring for the hosts after eight minutes, calmly slotting past Joe Whitworth in the Exeter goal after being found unmarked in the penalty area by the lively Reyes Cleary.
