Bromley open League One account as Victor Adeboyejo returns to haunt Barnsley
The substitute’s goal secured the Ravens’ first ever win in the third tier.
Newly-promoted Bromley earned their first ever win in League One thanks to a Victor Adeboyejo goal against his former club in a 1-0 win at Barnsley.
The Tykes were the dominant side but it was last season’s League Two champions who came away with all three points in a gutsy performance.
Bromley almost took the lead after Jonathan Bland’s back-pass was intercepted by Mitch Pinnock, who raced through on goal but Rogan Ravenhill made a great save from close range to keep the scores level.
Luke Alker rattled the crossbar for Barnsley from 30 yards out just after the half-hour mark following a barrage of pressure from the hosts.
Bromley had Shamal George to thank on the hour mark as he first kept out Reyes Cleary, then Tyrese Noslin and Alker to keep the game at 0-0.
Adeboyejo tapped home a cross from fellow substitute Ethon Archer in the 70th minute against the run of play to send the travelling fans wild.
Barnsley came close in the final stages through Cleary but were unable to find the leveller.
