Cauley Woodrow delivered a blow to former club Fulham's promotion challenge as he scored twice in a 3-0 win which keeps alive Barnsley's hopes of pulling off an unlikely survival bid.
Gerhard Struber's side arrived at Craven Cottage positioned at the foot of the Championship table and having collected just one point from their previous five games.
But Woodrow's first-half penalty and excellent late strike, together with Jacob Brown's goal early in the second half, ensured the Tykes staged a repeat of their opening weekend victory over Scott Parker's high-flying side to claim only their sixth win of the season.
Nottingham Forest's Matty Cash scored an added-time equaliser to snatch a 2-2 draw at West Brom as the Baggies' lead at the top of the Championship was cut to four points.
The hosts had twice led through Callum Robinson and a Tobias Figueiredo own goal but were denied a fourth successive win by Kyle Bartley's own goal and Cash's late intervention.
That allowed second-placed Leeds to reduce the deficit with just their second win in seven league matches courtesy of Luke Ayling's goal against his former club Bristol City.

Ovie Ejaria's brilliant through-ball teed up Reading team-mate Yakou Meite for the opener and Osaze Urhoghide was then sent off for a second bookable offence after bringing down Ejaria - the Owls' fifth red card of the season.
