Barkhuizen helps Preston North End secure comeback victory over Huddersfield Town

Tom Barkhuizen was in action as Preston North End secured a 2-1 victory over Huddersfield Town in Saturday’s Championship game.

The 27-year-old made a second-half appearance for Alex Neil’s men at John Smith's Stadium in his fifth appearance this season.

The South African‘s contribution helped the Lilywhites secured their second consecutive victory after Wednesday’s win over Queens Park Rangers.

Preston North End started the game unimpressively, allowing Huddersfield to open the scoring with only eight minutes into the encounter through Fraizer Campbell.

The Lilywhites made several efforts to level proceedings before the half-time break but Carlos Corberan’s men managed to hold on to their lead.
