    Barnsley's second goal scorer Adam Hammill tells Sky Sports: "We worked our socks off. To a man, we were outstanding. I'm made up for all the players, the staff.

    "The gaffer has made a few tweaks and done absolutely unbelievably. The chairman will be getting a contract out for him tonight, hopefully."

    You've got to pay tribute to Paul Heckingbottom coming in after Lee Johnson left, it's been a seamless transition. Hopefully and deservedly, he'll get the job permanently now.

    Thoroughly deserved for Barnsley on the day. They're a very good side to watch, very easy on the eye and they have real quality in the final third. They stood up to Millwall's physical presence, rode out the bad moments and came on strongly at the end.

    Barnsley celebrate! They're back in the second tier for the first time since 2014. Their players are delighted.

    Millwall's players are on the floor, dejected. They didn't quite have enough about them today, but have had a fine season.

    Reaction on the way shortly...

    Ivan Toney is almost in on goal for Barnsley's fourth but Tony Craig bravely gets a good tackle in.

    Barnsley's goalkeeper Adam Davies gathers the ball from the corner and Millwall are surely out of time.

    Barnsley have less than two minutes of defending left to do. Millwall win a corner. But they need two, not one.

    Four minutes of added time have been signalled. Millwall need a miracle to keep alive their hopes of an immediate return to the second tier, after relegation last season.

    Millwall launch the ball into Steve Morison in the box but his header is straight at Adam Davies.

    Barnsley's Adam Hammill, surely the man of the match, teases the Millwall defence with some trickery and wins a throw-in for the Reds deep in Millwall's half. The Tykes have the ball exactly where they want it.

    Barnsley want a penalty as Marley Watkins goes down in the area but the referee says there was nothing in it. Mmmm.

    Then a Watkins cross picks out Sam Winnall but Barnsley's top scorer heads wide of goal.

    What a chance, but it's a tame effort from Chris Taylor. That would have been a huge goal with five or six minutes left.
