Wycombe Wanderers missed the chance to close the gap on the League One play-off places as they lost 1-0 at home to promotion-pushing Barnsley.

Slobodan Tedic’s first goal for the Tykes with five minutes remaining was all that separated the two as Michael Duff earned his first victory over the Chairboys.

The home side dominated the opening 45 minutes but couldn’t find the opener.

Tjay De Barr went close inside five minutes before Harry Isted pushed over Garath McCleary’s cross/shot eight minutes later.

The Gibraltarian again went close midway through the half as his close-range header glanced away from the target, whilst Brandon Hanlan and Lewis Wing both had their attempts thwarted.  

However, the best chance of the contest fell to Chem Campbell just before the break.

The on-loan Wolverhampton Wanderers man fired over from inside the six-yard box after Isted pushed out Wing’s attempt from range.

Down the other end, Max Stryjek was on hand to Max Watters with a comfortable block.

The second was a flat affair with minimum chances, but Tedic’s close-range header meant Barnsley left Buckinghamshire with the points.

Barnsley remain fourth whilst Wycombe remain seventh.
