BARNSLEY 0
WYCOMBE WANDERERS 3
BURTON Bradstock star Dominic Gape scored a wonder goal from 40 yards as Wycombe won 3-0 at Oakwell.
After Anis Mehmeti opened the scoring, Gape lobbed home goalkeeper Brad Collins with a sublime strike, below, before Nick Freeman added a third.
Gareth Ainsworthโs side took the lead in the 37th minute through Mehmeti.
The forward used great footwork inside the box to create a small pocket of space and fire the ball past Collins into the far-right corner of the net.
Barnsley almost found an immediate equaliser two minutes later through Luca Connell, but his effort was tipped over.

Mehmeti should have added a second in the 50th minute but saw his effort ricochet off the woodwork.
Chairboys' skipper Gape doubled his sideโs lead in the 72nd minute, spotting Collins off his line and hitting an inch-perfect lob to beat the goalkeeper from just inside the opposition half.
