Jeannin took the free-kick, beating the 'keeper, but the ball struck the angle of the crossbar and post.</span></p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">Vale didn't have too long to wait, however. Lawrie slipped the ball into the path of Morgan-Smith, who advanced on goal before firing past Letheren from 15 yards.</span></p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">Any hopes the visitors had of getting their noses in front again were finished off in 16 second half minutes as the Vale went goal-crazy.</span></p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">Christian Smith</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"> put his side ahead on 49 minutes when he rose to head home Jeannin's free kick from out on the left, and he almost repeated it when he headed a cross from Jeannin just inches wide of the target.</span></p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">Vale made a substitution on 55 minutes when Danny Glover came on for Morgan-Smith, and the young striker had an immediate effect on the game.</span></p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">He beat the offside trap to race through the </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">Barnsley</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"> defence, then sent in a low cross for Mark Soboljew to fire home with his left foot.</span></p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">On 59 minutes, Glover was on the score sheet himself when Jeannin sent a left wing corner close to goal and Glover headed home from underneath the crossbar.</span></p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">The visitors had an opportunity to pull one back a minute later when Vale 'keeper, Lloyd Ransome mis-kicked and the ball went straight to the feet of White, but Ransome managed to block the shot.</span></p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">Vale then made it 5-1. Cardle cut inside from the left to unleash a stinging drive, which the 'keeper couldn't hold on to, and Soboljew darted in to head home his second of the afternoon.</span></p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">Barnsley</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"> pulled a goal back in the 90<sup>th</sup> minute when Smith was brought down in the box by Jeannin. The defender was dismissed as he was the last man, and White slotted home the spot kick.</span></p></div>
