Fabio Jalo claims point as Barnsley twice come from behind to draw with Reading
Posted Sunday, April 14, 2024 by PA
Barnsley had to come from behind twice to draw 2-2 draw with Reading.
The Reds are yet to confirm a play-off spot, whilst Reading have all-but ensured Sky Bet League One safety.
Sam Smith and Lewis Wing netted for the visitors, with Adam Phillips and Fabio Jalo providing equalisers.
The Royals opened the scoring in the 21st minute when Smith nodded home from Femi Azeez’s corner.
Barnsley levelled in the 29th minute when John McAtee dinked a cross from the left for Phillips to head in for his 10th goal of the season.
Smith wasted a guilt-edge chance to give Reading the lead in the 69th minute when he rolled an effort wide inside the six yard box from Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan’s cut back.
Ruben Selles’ side regained the lead with nine minutes to play when Wing smashed one home from 25 yards out.
Barnsley responded well though and equalised two minutes later through 18-year-old Jalo, who headed beyond substitute goalkeeper David Button.
Jalo almost won it for the hosts two minutes later when he broke free inside the box, but his laced effort struck the left-hand post.
