Fabio Jalo and Jonathan Russell both scored twice to earn Barnsley an impressive 4-1 win at home to play-off hopefuls Bolton, securing Conor Hourihane’s first win as interim head coach.

Aaron Collins’ second-half goal was merely a consolation for Bolton who fall to eighth, three points outside of the play-off places.

Barnsley started with purpose and opened the scoring early. Russell manoeuvred past his defender and curled a low shot past Nathan Baxter from the centre of the box in the 15th minute.

The Reds doubled their lead 10 minutes later with a well-worked set-piece routine. Davis Keillor-Dunn lofted the ball into the area where Josh Earl had pulled to the back post to lay it off for Jalo to finish from close range.

Bolton made a lively start to the second half. However, it was Barnsley who extended their lead when Jalo rifled his second of the game into the roof of the net.

Collins responded for the visitors when he rounded the goalkeeper three minutes later to make it 3-1, but Russell ended all doubt four minutes from time when he rose to head home a fourth for Barnsley.
