Barnsley claimed a second successive Championship win at Oakwell thanks to Jason Shackell and Adam Hammill goals against a wasteful Middlesbrough side.
Shackell converted a Kieran Trippier corner with his head shortly before the half hour to put the Tykes in command.
The visitors - pre-season promotion favourites - had chances but could not take them and have now scored just twice in four league matches so far.
Hamill sealed the win late on breaking free to lash low past Jason Steele.
Barnsley boss Mark Robins named an unchanged starting XI - leaving summer signing Jim O'Brien among the substitutes after his recovery from a thigh problem - while Matthew Bates and Kris Boyd were recalled to the Boro side in place of Justin Hoyte and Leroy Lita.
The Teesiders looked the more likely to open the scoring early on and they came agonisingly close in the 13th minute as Scott McDonald headed against the post from a Barry Robson free-kick.
Tarmo Kink then fired narrowly wide soon after while Barnsley keeper Luke Steele had to make a fine save to deny Boyd after the striker had unleashed a low shot on the turn.
But Shackell put Barnsley ahead in the 28th minute before Hammill fired over and Goran Lovre forced a useful save from Boro keeper Jason Steele.
Gordon Strachan's side almost pulled level 10 minutes before the break but back-pedalling Luke Steele saved Boyd's clever lob at full stretch.
The Tykes started the second period strongly but although Boro retained an attacking threat of their own, Boyd and Kink were unable to hit the target when presented with opportunities.
With Boro unable to find a way past a resilient home defence, Hammill raced clear in stoppage time to seal the three points for the hosts.
