Preston 1-2 Burnley: New boy Jonathan Walters nets his second goal in as many games to help the Clarets seal pre-season victory at Deepdale

Jonathan Walters scored his second goal in as many games for his new club as Burnley overcame Preston 2-1 in a pre-season friendly at Deepdale.

Walters, who penned a two-year deal from Stoke this summer, opened the scoring for the visitors before Sam Vokes doubled the lead after half time.

However, Preston forward Sean Maguire got the Championship side back in the game after he found the back of the net to halve the deficit.
