Barnsley and Reading shared the spoils following a 2-2 draw at Oakwell in League One.

Davis Keillor-Dunn put the Tykes ahead early on and Josh Earl levelled in the second half after Sam Smith had bagged a brace for the visitors.

Keillor-Dunn opened the scoring after seven minutes, curling into the bottom-right corner from the left of the box.

Reading equalised five minutes after the interval. After a curling shot from outside the box flew towards goal, Smith stuck out a leg to redirect beyond the reach of goalkeeper Ben Killip.

Stephen Humphrys should have regained the lead for the Tykes when he was played in one-on-one by Adam Phillips in the 65th minute but the onrushing Joel Pereira made himself big to deny.

Smith put Ruben Selles’ side in front a minute later. After Chem Campbell’s header hit the crossbar, the Reading forward was there to apply the finish for his second.

But Earl equalised in the 72nd minute, capitalising on a loose ball inside the box and firing home after Reading failed to clear several times.
