Sam Winnall's late penalty earned Barnsley a vital win over Oldham to take them within three points of the final League One play-off place.
Winnall converted from the spot with seven minutes left after Tareiq Holmes-Dennis fouled Adam Hammill.
The Tykes led when Winnall headed in Conor Hourihane's corner in first-half stoppage time.
Curtis Main levelled from close range, but Winnall's cool spot-kick secured the victory.
A head injury to Brian Wilson, who came on as a first-half substitute, saw nine minutes of first-half stoppage time.
Barnsley are three points behind sixth-placed Walsall, who won their first match in three league games, while Oldham remain only two points clear of the relegation places.
