Ten-man Barnsley came from a goal down to rescue a point from a 1-1 draw with Leicester, who struggled to break down the hosts despite having a man advantage for more than an hour.
Liam Cullen opened the scoring for the Foxes, but Reyes Cleary earned a point for the Reds, who had Luca Connell sent off in the first half.
Leicester took the lead after Luke Thomas put the ball on a plate for Cullen to score from inside the area after seven minutes.

Barnsley's task became even harder when Connell was sent off in the 26th minute after referee Sebastian Stockbridge adjudged his challenge on Thomas was reckless.
Despite that setback, Barnsley deservedly levelled as Cleary unleashed a powerful effort into the roof of the net in the 61st minute after a sloppy pass from Warren O'Hara allowed Arley Kay to play the winger through on goal.
The Reds defended resolutely and came close to winning it through Patrick Kelly in added time.
The 4,300 Leicester fans who travelled to South Yorkshire booed the players and boss Russell Martin off at full-time.
