Scott Sinclair claimed his 17th goal of the season from the penalty spot to earn promotion-chasing Swansea a late point at Oakwell.<\/strong><\/p>\n The ex-Chelsea winger won the penalty himself after being brought down by Barnsley keeper Luke Steele.<\/p>\n Barnsley had taken a deserved lead on 14 minutes when Bobby Hassell headed home when the visitors failed to clear a corner.<\/p>\n And Tykes Debutant Danny Haynes saw an effort ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n Despite missing the chance to go join-top of the Championship, Swansea will be grateful for the point, and could have gone on to win it in the dying moments had Luke Moore done better.<\/p>\n Barnsley will be frustrated not to have taken all three points after feeling they had done enough to see off the Welsh side.<\/p>\n Mark Robins’ Tykes attacked from the start putting the Swans under pressure and caused most of the problems from set pieces.<\/p>\n Garry O’Connor had the first real chance when his left-foot strike from a corner was cleared off the line by Jazz Richards.<\/p>\n And it was from another corner that led to the opening goal on 14 minutes.<\/p>\n The Swans failed to clear Jacob Butterfield’s delivery and Hassell’s header was adjudged to have crossed the line.<\/p>\n Barnsley could have doubled the lead moments later but goalkeeper Dorus de Vries used his feet to deny O’Connor.<\/p>\n Swansea took time to get into the game, but when they did, Scott Sinclair sent a shot wide from the edge of the box and Luke Moore sent an effort into Steele’s arms.<\/p>\n Steele came to the hosts rescue on the half-hour saving from Ashley Williams before the Swans defender skied the rebound.<\/p>\n Barnsley thought they had gone 2-0 up 11 minutes before the break through debutant Danny Haynes.<\/p>\n De Vries could only parry Manchester City loanee Kieran Trippier’s 25-yard into the path of Haynes, but the flag went up for offside.<\/p>\n Swansea made more of a fight for it in the second half with Williams sending Mark Gower’s cross wide, before Gower forced Steele into a great save from a free kick.<\/p>\n With 22 minutes to go, Swans boss Brendan Rodgers threw on striker Stephen Dobbie and winger Cedric van der Gun for Gower and Nathan Dyer in a bid to get something from the game.<\/p>\n Both substitutions gave Swansea a spring in their step, along with the return of Leon Britton and they played their part in sending Pratley to the by-line to cross for Sinclair at the far post, but ex-Chelsea winger headed wide.<\/p>\n And it was Sinclair who won and converted his third successive penalty six minutes from time after being tripped in the box by Steele to claim an unlikely point<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" bbc.co.uk Scott Sinclair claimed his 17th goal of the season from the penalty spot to earn promotion-chasing Swansea a late point at Oakwell.
