Preston take victory over Stoke
Preston came from a goal down to beat Stoke City in their first match in
more than three weeks.
Ben Wilmot’s superb 30-yard strike into the top corner gave the Potters a
second-half lead after a close first period.
But Preston levelled in unstoppable fashion as Brad Potts’ volley with the
outside of his foot from Daniel Johnson’s cross thundered into the roof of
the net from 10 yards.
The turnaround was complete when the unmarked Andrew Hughes headed
home Ben Whiteman’s corner nine minutes from time.
The victory lifts Preston up to 14th in the Championship after two
successive wins under new manager Ryan Lowe.
Stoke remain in eighth place, five points off the play-off places, having
suffered a fourth loss in their last six games.
