WADE Elliott celebrated signing a new three-year deal with his second goal of the season, while Kyle Lafferty capped his 50th league start for the Clarets with his fifth strike.
And it was credit to Burnley that they managed to craft two well-worked goals on a pitch covered in standing water as the rain poured down at Turf Moor.
Blake was the instigator in both, with his first delivery threaded through from the right for Elliott to finish through the legs of Luke Steele from inside the six-yard box.

The second was worked from the left, with Blake playing a short pass for Lafferty, who turned his marker and curled the ball into the bottom right corner.
Brian Howard pulled a goal back for Barnsley three minutes before the break, punishing the rebound after Brian Jensen saved his initial shot from close range.
