Sky Bet EFL essential stats: Barnsley restrict Wolves

Wolverhampton Wanderers' Diogo Jota reacts after his shot at goal went over the bar during the Sky Bet Championship match at Oakwell, Barnsley.

Each week, we will be taking a look back at some essential stats from the weekend's action in the Sky Bet Championship, League One and League Two...

No shots on target for Wolves

Wolves failed to have a shot on target during their 0-0 draw at Barnsley on Saturday - the first time since March they have failed to hit the target in a Championship game.

They are the 11th different side to fail to have a shot on target during a Championship game this season - Burton have failed to hit the target in most games with four.

Aramide Oteh, 19, scored his first senior goal on his first start in QPR's 3-1 win at Burton. In contrast, Burton's equaliser was scored by Lloyd Dyer, who scored his first senior goal in Kidderminster's 2-1 defeat at home to Lincoln in September 2003 - 10 days after Oteh's fifth birthday.

Derby's dramatic rise

Derby, meanwhile, have won 20 points since the start of December - two more than any other EFL team during that time.
