GOALS from Daryl Dike, Alex Mowatt and Carlton Morris saw Barnsley record their sixth successive win for the first time in more than a century in the second tier against Queens Park Rangers.
The 3-1 away win at least temporarily puts Barnsley into sixth place, with a game in hand over the teams either side of them.
It s also the first time they ve recorded three successive away wins since 1996-97.
Barnsley came into the game at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium in superb form, with five straight wins coming at the end of seven unbeaten games.
QPR had won their last three at home, including impressive victories over Bournemouth and Brentford.

Barnsley s efforts were rewarded after just 13 minutes when Callum Brittain picked out Chaplin inside the 18-yard area and the latter bundled home from six yards to hand his team a deserved lead.
In the 37th minute, Brittain, once again, managed to get past his marker before crossing the ball to Morris but the goalkeeper pulled off a fantastic save to deny him.
It was an encouraging display from the visitors who gave their best to ensure their hosts did not get their way back into the game, especially in the first half.
Brentford started the second half casually and as a result, they were punished again in the 47th minute.
