After an incredibly busy night at Oakwell, we bid one and all farewell.

Nottingham Forest fans will have sweet dreams after this one, while it was more the stuff of nightmares for Barnsley.

We are, of course, back with English Football League live text coverage from 14:00 GMT tomorrow.

Henri Lansbury grabbed a hat-trick as Nottingham Forest made it back-to-back away wins in the Championship by beating 10-man Barnsley.

Lansbury and Apostolos Vellios both levelled for Forest in the opening 24 minutes after Sam Winnall and Marley Watkins twice put the Tykes ahead.

Lansbury headed Forest ahead in first-half stoppage time and Ben Osborn nodded in the fourth.

And, after Watkins was sent off, Lansbury's penalty wrapped up the win.

Read the full report here.

So Nottingham Forest start the weekend of English Football League fixtures with a tremendously exciting 5-2 win over Barnsley at Oakwell.

And there is still plenty to come from the Championship, League One and League Two over the weekend.

Join us on Saturday for live text coverage from 14:00 GMT and we will be going into the evening with Rotherham United hosting Yorkshire rivals Leeds at 17:00 GMT.

Then on Monday we are back with the last of the second-tier games as Wigan Athletic travel to Huddersfield Town.

Having not won away from home all season, Nottingham Forest string back-to-back triumphs on the road together.

That is enough to move them to 16th in the table and above Barnsley. They edge above the Tykes for goals scored. Figures.

Nottingham Forest goalscorer Ben Osborn told Sky Sports: "I'm happy to finally chip in with a goal. It has been a long time coming, it was overdue."

Nottingham Forest's Henri Lansbury, who scored a hat-trick, told Sky Sports: "We were more worried about the points at the minute, so it was good to get the win and to keep some momentum up.

"We have a big few games coming up, we need to keep working hard."

To the very end, Barnsley pushed for more goals.

This game had it all, a Henri Lansbury hat-trick as Nottingham Forest twice fought back from a goal down to win in some style.

Barnsley finished with 10 men following Marley Watkins' sending off.

Wow.

Vladimir Stojkovic spreads himself BIG and gets a hand on the ball to keep a close-range header from Josh Scowen out.

The hosts will take anything out of this game. Even if it is just goals!

And we are into the final minute.

But neither side is about to stop here. Oh no, they keep pushing for goals.

Four minutes added time to play as well.

Last change for Barnsley as Sam Winnall makes way for Ryan Williams.

Barnsley 2-5 Nottingham Forest

Matt Mills comes to earth with a crunch. Huge contact there with Barnsley goalkeeper Adam Davies as they challenge one another for a free-kick into the box.

All above board. Still, that would have hurt.

David Vaughan makes his comeback from injury as he replaces Michael Mancienne.

Right. Watch this space. There are four minutes remaining. A substitute has come on. Surely a goal. Right?

So, Matty Cash. Just to rewind a moment. He was on the pitch for just two minutes before being brought down to win that penalty.

Influential stuff.

Saidy Janko looking to make an immediate impression on this game.

He finds himself just inside the area and with a few bodies to aim at with a cross, he tries to find a team-mate.

In the end, a shot may have caused more problems from there as Nottingham Forest deal with the threat.

Barnsley boss Paul Heckingbottom goes to the bench for a second time and it is Saidy Janko that comes on for James Bree.

Barnsley might be down to 10 men and missing Marley Watkins on the right after his sending-off, but they are not abandoning their approach tonight.

They work the ball and still manage to get a threatening ball into the box, but surely Nottingham Forest are going to be able to shut such things down easily now.

Here we have this six-goal spectacular and a red card to boot.

Now why not add a little star dust to proceedings...

Yes, it is former Arsenal man Nicklas Bendtner who comes off the bench to replace Apostolos Vellios.

Marley Watkins is shown a straight red card!

The Barnsley man tussled with Nottingham Forest's Thomas Lam. It wasn't the initial challenge that earned him the marching order, rather it was an apparent stamp.

Well, if this game was missing one thing, I guess we have it now. 

Oh the drama!

There is change for Barnsley now as Tom Bradshaw replaces Adam Armstrong.
