Reds striker John McAtee is the Sky Bet League One Goal of the Month winner for December.
Chasing onto a bouncing pass, McAtee seemed to have nowhere to go. But, with Stevenage keeper Taye Ashby-Hammond racing off his line, he adroitly executed a no-look, hooked lob.
Lead Sky Bet EFL Goal of the Month judge and Sky Sports Pundit Don Goodman said: “In any other month, John McAtee’s long range strike vs Port Vale could have won Goal of the Month, but the Barnsley striker decided to one up himself in December as he caught Stevenage keeper Taye Ashby-Hammond in no man’s land with a delicious lob.
“It was an instinctive finish from a player at the top of his game. He knew exactly where the goal was and didn’t think twice before lifting it into the net.”
McAtee beat off competition from Oxford United’s Marcus McGuane and Blackpool’s Ollie Norburn.
