Scunthorpe 2-2 Barnsley

A 95th-minute penalty from Brian Howard saw Barnsley come from two goals down to earn a dramatic point at Scunthorpe.

Scunthorpe took a two-goal lead courtesy of goals from Ian Morris and Kelly Youga.

But Grant McCann's 74th minute goal gave the Tykes some hope in a game that looked to be slipping away.

And with just seconds of injury-time remaining, referee Clive Oliver penalised Andy Crosby for handball and Howard duly dispatched the equaliser.

Scunthorpe boss Nigel Adkins:
"It's the fourth game in 10 days but to play the way we did in the first half was commendable.

"We tried to keep them out then in injury-time a refereeing decision again has given them a penalty.

"Yes the ball has hit Andy Crosby's hand, yes he doesn't know anything about it."

Barnsley boss Simon Davey:
"I thought we were diabolical in the first half.

"At half-time we needed to make sure we got a reaction from the players and we did. I thought based on the second half it was a thoroughly deserved point.

"The second-half performance will serve as a nice platform for us. It's nice to take the confidence with us into the FA Cup this weekend."
