North End in thriller

Preston North End 3-2 Stoke City

North End continued their good form with a sensational second half comeback against Stoke City. Paul McKenna, David Nugent and Kelvin Wilson grabbed the goals.

Stoke found themselves 2-0 up after only seven minutes played. Lawrence scored after only two minutes into the first half after a poor clearance. Mamady Sidibe also said thank you very much when he captalized on another mistake from the defence.

The first half was a poor affiar, with North End being geered off at the break. Paul Simpson must have given his team a right telling off as their second half performance was much better. Paul McKenna who was woeful throughout the game fired a 25 yard effort into the bottom left corner.

Game on! David Nugent levelled the scoreline converting subsitute Whaley's pin perfect cross. At this point in the game, Stoke looked jaded, only one team were going to win. North End kept the pressure on, which paid off when Wilson guided the ball home with minutes left.

North End held on to a hard earned three points, to stay 3rd in the Championship.
