Barnsley crashed to their eighth straight defeat in League One as they lost at home to Port Vale.
After early Barnsley pressure, goals from Ajay Leitch-Smith and Sam Foley put Vale well on their way to victory.
Leitch-Smith headed in a looping cross five minutes before the break before Foley found the top corner after the restart following Bryon Moore's run.
Substitute Sam Winnall pulled a goal back late on for Barnsley, who slipped to second bottom in the table.
Barnsley's last league win came at home against league leaders Gillingham on 26 September.
