Marc Roberts nets late leveller as Barnsley draw with Wycombe

Marc Roberts struck a late equaliser as Barnsley rescued a point in an entertaining 2-2 draw with Wycombe at Oakwell.

Roberts capitalised on a scramble in the box to fire home following second-half goals from Wycombe’s Beryly Lubala and Richard Kone, either side of Stephen Humphrys’ leveller.

Barnsley striker Sam Cosgrove slotted the ball past Franco Ravizzoli after just three minutes but the assistant referee had his flag raised for offside.

Wycombe’s best first-half chance fell to defender Caleb Taylor, who looped his header just over the bar.

A couple of minutes into the second half, the visitors took the lead with Lubala firing in right-footed from a searching Kieran Sadlier cross.

Luca Connell almost hit back immediately for the home side, striking a post with a fizzing left-footed effort, before Tykes boss Darrell Clarke made two changes and was rewarded with substitute Humphrys’ cool, right-footed finish in the 58th minute.

Wycombe substitute Kone looked to have won the game with a close-range finish into the bottom corner five minutes from time but Roberts snatched a point for the home side.
