3' Close from the Toffees inside three minutes as Josh Bowler skips past Will Smith in the Barnsley defence and his cross grazes the far post.

5' Close from Bowler again! Again breezing past Smith and unleashing a left-footed shot, but it is into the side-netting.

8' Barnsley create their first chance of the game as Romal Palmer comes close from just outside the area.

32' Stoppage in play as Palmer receives treatment after a heavy, yet fair, challenge from Hornby.

43' Greatorex at the rescue for Barnsley after a good save from Bowler. The ball seemed to pin ball around the area for a moment before Bowler found space, however his shot was smothered by the Barnsley keeper.


HT Everton 0-0 Barnsley. The referee draws the first half to a close and Everton will feel they have had the better of the first period, having majority of the possession and creating more chances, however finding it difficult to make that count.

52' First opportunity of the second half falls to Hornby after a good delivery from Grant, but his header loops over the bar.

FT: Everton 0-0 Barnsley. Frustrating evening in Southport comes to a close. Everton had the best of the chances but couldn't convert and the game finished goalless.
