Championship play-offs: Swansea City 1-1 Barnsley (2-1 agg)


Swansea will battle the Bees for a place in the Premier League after a tense 1-1 draw with Barnsley secured a 2-1 aggregate win. After a 1-0 first leg triumph, Matt Grimes' sparkling goal put Swansea 2-0 up in the tie ,but Barnsley replied through Cauley Woodrow's sharp finish. But Swansea came through a nervy finale to set up a meeting with Brentford on Saturday, 29 May. Like the first leg, this was not a pretty contest as Barnsley's high-tempo, direct style caused problems for Swansea. But it was Swansea who seized the initiative six minutes before half-time when Grimes curled the ball inside the far post.
