Fabio Jalo and Jonathan Russell both scored twice to earn Barnsley an impressive 4-1 win at home to play-off hopefuls Bolton, securing Conor Hourihane’s first win as interim head coach.

Aaron Collins' second-half goal was merely a consolation for Bolton who fall to eighth, three points outside of the play-off places.

Barnsley started with purpose and opened the scoring early. Russell manoeuvred past his defender and curled a low shot past Nathan Baxter from the centre of the box in the 15th minute.

The Reds doubled their lead 10 minutes later with a well-worked set-piece routine. Davis Keillor-Dunn lofted the ball into the area where Josh Earl had pulled to the back post to lay it off for Jalo to finish from close range.

Bolton made a lively start to the second half. However, it was Barnsley who extended their lead when Jalo rifled his second of the game into the roof of the net.
