Wow, almost an own goal from Ethan Pinnock who turns the ball into his own net from a Barnsley cross.

Luckily for the Brentford man, the offside flag was raised just prior to his intervention.

A triple substitution from Barnsley.

The two goalscorers Conor Chaplin and Carlton Morris come off as well as Daryl Dike.

Cauley Woodrow, Dominik Frieser and Victor Adeboyejo are sent on.

A big second half awaits for both sides.

There's plenty of other footballing action this afternoon outside of the English Football League.

Two minutes added on to this first half.

Will we see some late action before the break?

As good as Brentford are, Barnsley have played really well today and are well worthy of their lead.

Saman Ghoddos looks to race onto a loose ball for the hosts before Romal Palmer spares the visitors' blushes with a stunning tackle.

Meanwhile, in a scrappy game of many fouls, Daryl Dike is penalised for one on Ethan Pinnock.

Ivan Toney takes out Romal Palmer after Barnsley concede a free-kick in midfield as Mads Andersen brings down Bryan Mbeumo.

The referee tells them to get on with it, the free-kick is sent into the box and Ethan Pinnock's close-range shot is well blocked by Daryl Dike.

Blimey, Carlton Morris has almost sent a neck-busting looping header past Brentford goalkeeper David Raya to double Barnsley's lead!

The visitors do well to work the ball back upfield and Morris, under pressure from Henrik Dalsgaard, works onto Callum Brittain's swinging cross.

We're past the half-hour mark now and Barnsley are looking pretty comfortable and are doing well to neutralise whatever Brentford are throwing at them.

Plenty for Thomas Frank to think about, with his side's efforts being thwarted at every avenue.
