Preston North End
Outstanding performance
Preston North End•AttackerPreston North End produced a clinical counter-attacking display to overturn an early deficit and secure a crucial 2-1 victory at Charlton Athletic. The Addicks started brightly with Joe Rankin-Costello's early opener, but Preston's superior possession (55%) and passing accuracy (74%) gradually told. Lewis Dobbin's equalizing header just seven minutes later set the tone for a Preston comeback, before Brad Potts delivered the decisive blow on the counter-attack in the 65th minute. Despite Charlton registering more shots (17-14) and creating three big chances, they were wasteful in front of goal, missing two clear opportunities that proved costly in this tightly-contested Championship affair.
