Two-goal Barnsley hero Cauley Woodrow (right centre) went to celebrate his opening strike at The Hawthorns with caretaker boss Adam Murray

Championship leaders West Bromwich Albion had to come from 2-0 down at The Hawthorns to claim a draw against bottom club Barnsley.

The managerless Tykes, without a win in 11 league games since the first day of the season, stunned Albion with two Cauley Woodrow goals inside six minutes midway through the first half.

Dimitri Cavare burst down the right and centred for Woodrow to head in at the near post after 18 minutes.

Alex Mowatt then cut in from the left before playing a square pass across to Woodrow, who unleashed a well-struck low left-foot shot just inside Sam Johnstone's right upright from 25 yards.

Bottom had already beaten top once in the Championship this season, just 17 days before, when Stoke City won at then leaders Swansea - and Barnsley caretaker boss Adam Murray had already promised before the game that his side "enjoy ruining parties.

But Albion's introduction of Conor Townsend and Filip Krovinovic from the bench at half-time helped Slaven Bilic's Baggies up the pace sufficiently to get something from the game.

They needed some luck when Cameron McGeehan's looping header hit the bar after Cavare again was the provider from the right flank.

And fortune was on Albion's side again when they pulled one back after 68 minutes when Bambo Diaby put through his own goal, glancing Matheus Pereira's inswinging corner past his own keeper Brad Collins.

But Albion generated enough pressure to warrant at least an equaliser, which finally came from Pereira after 81 minutes, when he timed his run perfectly to head home the dangerous Townsend's whipped-in cross.

Albion, who have now rescued 16 of their 26 points from losing positions this season, remain two points clear of Leeds at the top.

Barnsley, who remain without an away win since 22 April, stay bottom, level on points with Stoke City, who lost at Sheffield Wednesday.

In a game of 11 bookings, eight of them were for Barnsley, which earns them an automatic date with the Football Association's disciplinary department.

West Bromwich Albion head coach Slaven Bilic told BBC WM:

"It is mixed emotions. We are never happy with a point, no matter who we play or where. I knew it would be tough. There are no free lunches in life, not to mention the Championship.

"We were not patient enough and were trying to do a killer ball when the situation was nowhere near ready for it.

"Considering half-time and how the result went, we have to take this point as a fantastic point. We deserved to equalise, then we ran out of steam, but the players showed spirit, character and maturity."

Barnsley caretaker manager Adam Murray told BBC Radio Sheffield:

"We had a plan and, going in at half-time 2-0 up, it was working perfectly. In the second half, we saw their quality.

"I've got to give credit to our players. Their work-rate and energy, and their mindset to keep attacking and trying to get that next goal, was fantastic.

"They're dead on their feet in the changing rooms, and rightly so."
