After goals from Tom Bradshaw and Ryan Kent, Barnsley captain Conor Hourihane sealed an important victory for Barnsley with a stunning free-kick. Becoming somewhat of a set-piece specialist, Hourihane marked what might be his last performance for Barnsley with a special goal to help the Tykes beat fierce rivals, Leeds United.

Tom Ince – Derby

After a loose-ball was swept up by Derby midfielder, Craig Bryson, Tom Ince beat his man to slot home the Rams’ second goal in their 3-2 win against Reading. The goal was Ince’s 9th of the season.

Sam Morsy helped Wigan Athletic secure back-to-back victories and climb out of the Championship relegation zone on Saturday. Morsy fired the hosts into a first-half lead with an effort from 20 yards out, just moments after he had struck the post.

Isaiah Brown – Huddersfield

Brown’s time at Huddersfield Town has started with a bang, after the Chelsea loanee fired the Terriers into the lead against Ipswich Town with a curling effort. The England youngster, who was on loan at Rotherham United earlier in the season, has been brought in to help fire David Wagner’s team to promotion this season.

It’s not often you see a free-kick like this one, especially one that finds the back of the net! Ben Osborn wowed the City Ground on Saturday, as the youngster buried a spectacular free-kick to give the Reds a narrow 1-0 victory against struggling Bristol City. After the ball was chipped up for him, Osborn struck a sweet volley to give the Robins’ keeper no chance.
