Conor Chaplin and skipper Sam Morsy were on target but Town were held to a 2-2 draw by Barnsley at Portman Road with a third Blues goal scored by sub Marcus Harness appearing to have been harshly disallowed. Chaplin curled home a brilliant free-kick on 27 but Jack Aitchison levelled for the Tykes six minutes later before Leif Davis had what looked a decent penalty shout turned down just before the break. Morsy restored the Blues’ lead on 70 but, after Harness’s goal had been ruled out, Callum Styles grabbed a point for the visitors on 75 with the Blues, who drop to second, going close on a number of occasions late on with George Edmundson hitting the post.
Conor Chaplin netted a superb free-kick against his old club but Jack Aitchison levelled to leave the scoreline between the Blues and Barnsley 1-1 at half-time.
