BARNSLEY head coach Paul Heckingbottom was left frustrated with his side’s missed chances as they were held to a draw at home to Brentford.
Marley Watkins put the home side ahead before Florian Joefzoon equalised for the visitors, who also missed a penalty when Jota’s effort from the spot was saved.
Barnsley opened the scoring when Josh Scowen’s cross picked out Watkins, whose effort found the net with the aid of a deflection in the 28th minute.
Jozefzoon equalised four minutes before half-time, slotting the ball past Adam Davies after receiving a fine through-ball from Jota.
Brentford were awarded a 47th-minute penalty when Sergi Canos’s shot was blocked inside the area by Angus MacDonald, but Jota’s spot-kick was superbly saved by Adam Davies.
Heckingbottom said: “We feel we did more than enough to win, but we missed the final bit of quality. I was pleased in terms of the performance, but we should have had more goals. Those moments of quality were missing and we know we can be better.”
