Brentford extended their unbeaten run to six Championship games as in-from striker Ivan Toney scored the only goal of the game in a 1-0 victory at Barnsley.

Toney was largely kept quiet throughout the 90 minutes but his effort midway through the second half - his 11th in as many league outings - proved decisive.

The victory was Brentford's first in four outings and moved them within two points of the play-off places.

It was a fair result as the visitors created most of the openings, keeping Barnsley at bay.

Elsewhere in the Championship, Bright Osayi-Samuel inspired QPR to a 3-2 victory over Rotherham.

Ilias Chair put Rangers ahead after 20 minutes and they seemed to be in control before Michael Smith's 38th-minute equaliser - the striker's first goal since February.

But two goals in first-half injury time proved decisive for the Rs.
