Patrick Kelly gives Barnsley FA Cup win at Peterborough

Patrick Kelly gives Barnsley FA Cup win at Peterborough

Substitute Patrick Kelly came off the bench to fire Barnsley into the third round of the FA Cup for the first time in three years with a 1-0 win at Peterborough.

Davis Keillor-Dunn, who had a goal chalked out for offside on the stroke of half-time, nodded over the first chance of the game for the visitors.

Declan Frith had the hosts’ best chance of the first-half as he fired into the side netting after a determined run down the wing.

After the break, Ben Woods fired a free-kick over the bar for Posh.

Kelly could only nod a cross straight at Alex Bass before the hosts’ keeper made a good save to keep out Jonathan Bland.

Neil Farrugia did well down the wing to tee up Kelly for a tap in to break the deadlock with 17 minutes to go.

Harley Mills had the hosts’ best effort to level when he struck straight at Michael Cooper.

Bass made a trio of late saves but it was not enough for Posh to avoid missing out on the third round for the first time since 2023.
