Match Recap

Preston looked set for a flat afternoon at home before the final ten minutes turned the Championship clash on its head. Andrew Hughes broke the deadlock in the 78th minute, but the lead lasted barely four, as Aune Heggebo answered for West Brom in the 82nd to snatch a point. The draw tells two very different stories: West Brom sit fifth on 20 points, riding a mixed WWLLD run, while Preston are mired in 24th with just four points and winless in five, their form reading LLLDL. The sides met once before and West Brom won that too, so this share of the spoils is as good as it's gotten for Preston lately. Neither side's scorer troubles league leader W. Lankshear's 16-goal tally, but Heggebo's late leveller mattered more to West Brom's season than any chart. Watch how Hughes' 78th-minute strike had Deepdale believing, and how Heggebo killed the party four minutes later.
