Devante Cole has now scored 10 goals this season for Michael Duff's Barnsley

Barnsley leapfrogged Derby County in the League One table with a thumping win at Oakwell.

The Tykes made it an impressive six wins in a seven-match unbeaten run to climb over the Rams and into fifth.

An opener was found in the 21st minute, as chaos in the Derby defence gave Devante Cole a simple close-range strike.

Adam Phillips then scored his third goal in three games, with a pass from Jordan Williams finding him outside the box before his right-footed strike went into the bottom corner.

The Rams answered back a couple of minutes later with a fabulous finish from David McGoldrick.

But morale dropped even further for the 5,000-strong Derby supporters in first-half injury time after fantastic ball movement led to Cole scoring his second goal and making it 10 for the season.

Barnsley secured three points as a fourth goal in added time at the end of the game by Luke Thomas stabilised their play-off position, while Derby now hold the final play-off spot.
