Preston North End 1-1 Stoke City: Lilywhites record fifth successive draw

Preston North End recorded a fifth-successive Championship draw as they held Stoke City at Deepdale.

Nick Powell gave the Potters the perfect start when he powerfully headed in Josh Tymon's seventh-minute cross.

But Ben Whiteman ensured the sides were level at the break as he curled a 20-yard free-kick into the top corner.

Both sides failed to take chances after the break as Josh Tymon impressed for Stoke, with North End goalkeeper Daniel Iversen making a number of good saves.

Preston - who are unbeaten in nine games in all competitions - remain in 15th place while the point sees Stoke move up to fourth in the table, with the teams immediately around them playing on Wednesday.
