Preston win only their second free-kick of the game and the decision is greeted by huge cheers from the home fans.

It is 45 yards from goal and Preston make a mess of a tricky set-piece routine.

But they win the ball back and keep Villa under pressure for a good minute before the visitors eventually see out the danger.
