Goals from Devante Cole, Jordan Williams and Josh Benson gave Barnsley a comfortable 3-0 victory over Bristol Rovers.
The League One contest was only three minutes old when Callum Styles produced a good run down the left and played the ball to Cole, who found the net from a tight angle.
Williams extended Barnsley’s lead in the 13th minute with a long-range effort which took a deflection.
Rovers goalkeeper James Belshaw made a good save to keep out a firm drive from Styles and Cole shot just wide.
A rare attack from the visitors at the end of the half saw Barnsley keeper Bradley Collins called into action to save from Harvey Saunders as John Marquis waited to pounce.
