Carlisle United are out of the FA Youth Cup after a heavy first round defeat at home to Barnsley.
The young Blues took the lead but the visitors swept to a 5-1 victory at Brunton Park.
Aran Fitzpatrick gave Mark Birch's United Under-18s the lead from an impressive free-kick after half an hour.
But the young Tykes levelled before half-time through Emmaisa Nzondo.
The Yorkshire side then struck four times after the break to pull clear of the Cumbrians.
Bayley McCann - son of Doncaster Rovers manager Grant McCann - fired them in front in the 49th minute.
A Will Maddison own goal extended Barnsley's lead with Vimal Yoganathan making it 4-1 before the hour mark.
