County looked set to equalise in first-half stoppage time when Josh Earl gave the ball away and allowed Barry to race through on goal, but Gabriel Slonina rushed out and made himself big to deny him.

Earl could have doubled Barnsley’s lead with two minutes to go, but the defender’s low effort from the left of the box was saved well by Corey Addai.

Stockport levelled in the first minute of stoppage time when Barry smashed home from just inside the box after the home side failed to clear.

The draw drops Barnsley from third in League One, to sixth.
