Barkhuizen: South Africa prospect dazzles as Preston North End see off Wigan Athletic

Tom Barkhuizen scored a goal and made an assist as Preston North End secured a 2-1 away win against Wigan Athletic in Saturday's Championship encounter.

Barkhuizen got the visitors to a flying start at the DW Stadium with his seventh-minute opener which took his tally to eight league goals this season.

His effort separated both teams at half-time but three minutes after the restart, he assisted Daniel Johnson to double Preston North End's lead.

Cheyenne Dunkley's 57th-minute goal was not enough to inspire Wigan's comeback as the Lilywhites extended their unbeaten streak to five games.
