Barnsley made a winning start to their first game in this competition since winning the whole thing in its Johnstones Paint Trophy guise.
The Reds are now unbeaten in their last eight matches in the competition (W5 D3), and two of those draws went to a penalty shootout which Barnsley went on to win.
Prior to this run Barnsley had played six matches in this competition and won only one.
Indeed Oldham were the last team to eliminate Barnsley from this competition, winning 4-2 on penalties following a 2-2 draw at Boundary Park in the Johnstones Paint Trophy Northern Second Round in October 2014.
The Reds have now won each of their last five meetings with Oldham, with that JPT defeat the only one of the past eight meetings Barnsley have failed to win.
Barnsley have won three successive games at Boundary Park for the first time ever.
Barnsley have scored in each of their last 11 matches in this competition - a total of 21 goals - this after failing to score in their first four.
This was the first time Barnsley have come from 1-0 down to win a match in exactly 12months, last occurring in a 3-2 League Cup victory over Derby in September 2017.
It is the fourth time they have conceded first and come back to win in this competition.
This was the sixth game George Moncur has scored in for Barnsley and only the second they have gone on to win. Both of his goals so far in 2018-2019 have come in cup competitions.
Victor Adeboyejo meanwhile has scored in three matches this season and Barnsley have won them all.
In the first eight games of the season (all competitions) only Blackpool and AFC Wimbledon have managed to stop Barnsley from scoring at least twice.
They have scored at least twice in four successive matches for the first time since the final four games of 2015-2016 when they actually managed it in their final five matches.
Barnsley enjoyed 52% possession in this match, only at Bradford (49%) have they failed to have more ball possession than their opponents this season.
