Two goals from Barnsley's Ricardo Vaz Te condemn Crystal Palace to their seventh league defeat of the season.
Dougie Freedman opted to rest captain Paddy McCarthy, giving him a place on the bench and letting DEKEL KEINAN make his second start for the Eagles, alongside Anthony Gardiner.
Vaz Te gave Barnsley the perfect start inside 10 seconds of the match kicking off, with a long range effort which beat Julian Speroni.
Palace were level before the break though through Jermaine Easter.
In the second half McCarthy replaced KEINAN, and Chris Martin came on for goal scorer Easter in the 59th minute.
With 13 minutes remaining in the match Vaz Te scored his second of the game, which proved to be the winner.
Palace had a corner, but failed to make it count and the Tykes broke on the counter attack. Jacob Butterfield's shot was parried by Speroni into the path of Vaz Te who made no mistake from inside the area.
Freedman immediately brought on Steffen Iversen for Glenn Murray but it was to no avail and Palace ended up on the losing side.
