Last updated 19th May 2023
Barnsley have beaten Bolton in the second leg of their League One play-off semi-final tonight (Friday, 19 May).
The teams were level at 1-all going into the game at Oakwell - with Barnsley winning 2-1 on aggregate.
The Reds will now face Sheffield Wednesday in the final.
Barnsley and Bolton were level going into tonight's game.
But a goal by Liam Kitching in the first half secured a Wembley trip for the Reds.
A year on from relegation from the Championship, supporters couldn't hide their excitement by invading the pitch - despite pleas from officials not to.
On social media, fans have been heaping praise on the side:
Barnsley captain Mads Andersen told Sky Sports:
“Reaching the final means a lot if we win it, so let’s go there and win it.
“It was the best atmosphere in my time in Barnsley, it was a good experience.
“I’m excited to face Sheffield Wednesday, it’s going to be a very big game and I’m looking forward to it.”
The Tykes are just 90 minutes away from a return to the second tier.
They will meet Sheffield Wednesday at Wembley a week on Monday.
