Matt Done went close for the visitors in only the second minute when his effort was tipped wide by keeper Adam Davies.

Barnsley then enjoyed a decent spell with Adam Hammill curling an effort wide and Marley Watkins heading off-target.

Sam Winnall forced a good save from George Long with Lloyd Isgrove putting the rebound wide.

United's Billy Sharp had a shot saved before Chris Basham struck, the former Blackpool player finding the net in the 16th minute with a header from a Bob Harris corner.

Basham even had a chance to score a second after the break, but he put his effort wide.

Long protected United's lead when he made a fine save to keep out Hourihane's penalty - awarded following Neill Collins' foul on Hammill - on the hour mark.

Winnall went close to equalising late on, heading against a post, before Hourihane levelled with a superb strike at the death.
