Cheltenham 0-4 Barnsley: James Norwood on target as Michael Duff wins on return to Gloucestershire
Saturday 18 February 2023 17:49, UK
Michael Duff enjoyed a triumphant return to Cheltenham as his Barnsley side ran out comfortable 4-0 winners.
Duff led the Robins to the League Two title in 2021 followed by their highest ever finish of 15th in League One last term before leaving to take over at Oakwell.
And his in-form Tykes team launched their own mini goal-of-the-season competition, netting three of the highest quality before half-time.
James Norwood scored the opener in the eighth minute, finishing off a slick attacking move started by Herbie Kane and also involving Jordan Williams and Adam Phillips.
Kane volleyed a superb second into the top-left corner after Luca Connell's corner was cleared to him 20 yards out in the 15th minute.
