Stockport secured their place in the League One play-offs with a third-placed finish thanks to a 3-1 victory at Barnsley.

Adama Sidibeh’s first-half goal was cancelled out by Adam Phillips before Oliver Norwood scored from the penalty spot after the break.

Benony Andresson sealed the victory for Stockport in second-half stoppage-time.

County took a deserved lead in the 23rd minute after Barnsley goalkeeper Kieren Flavell let a Norwood cross slip through his fingers, with the ball falling straight to the feet of Sidibeh, who fired home.

After Corey Addai had made a wonder save to deny Phillips from close range, Corey O’Keeffe crossed the ball back into the box for the midfielder, who levelled the game for the hosts in the 53rd minute.

Norwood converted from the spot – with less than 20 minutes remaining – to put County back in front after O’Connell was adjudged to have brought down Josh Stokes.

Andresson sealed the three points in the ninth minute of added time, calmly slotting the ball past Flavell to send the away end wild and set up a play-off against Stevenage.
