The young midfielder tapped in at the back post after a scramble in the box.
The U’s levelled in the 52nd minute after substitute Lavery found Knight unmarked in the box and the midfielder’s half volley sailed past Rogan Ravenhill.
Both Brownlie and Cleary had good chances to restore Barnsley’s lead but it was the away side who won it in the first minute of stoppage time.
Lavery tapped home from two yards out after Ravenhill could only parry the ball straight to the substitute.
