It was played between Barnsley of League One and Oxford United of League Two, neither of whom had played in a League Trophy final before. Barnsley won 3–2. United led 1–0 at half-time through a goal from Callum O'Dowda. An own-goal by Chey Dunkley early in the second half was followed by goals from Ashley Fletcher and Adam Hammill to give Barnsley a two-goal cushion. A header from Danny Hylton in the 76th minute reduced the deficit, but United were unable to find an equaliser in the remaining minutes and suffered defeat at Wembley for the first time in their history.Cartwright Phil Barnsley 3-2 Oxford United https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35906363 3 April 2016 BBC Sport 3 April 2016 Match details 3 April 2016 14:30 GMT Barnsley 3–2 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35906363 Oxford United Dunkley 52 o.g.
