Reserves result: Stoke City 1 Barnsley 2

Thordor Gudjonsson gave Stoke the lead after half an hour but ten minutes later the Reds equalised through trialist Sosthene Yao.

Yao was at West Ham as a trainee.

Robbie Williams scored the winner with 20 minutes remaining on the clock for a vital win despite fielding a very inexperienced side.

Barnsley Line-up: Flinders, Harban, Laight, Atkinson, Williams, Tonge, Heslop, Batley, Yao, Joynes, Jarman.

Subs: Holt, Naylor, Jordan, Farmery, Beevor.
