Preston came from behind to draw with bottom club Yeovil Town, but missed the chance to move third in League One.

Gozie Ugwu netted his second goal in as many games to put the Glovers ahead just before half-time, much to the delight of their 73 travelling fans.

But the hosts drew level when substitute Sylvan Ebanks-Blake rounded goalkeeper Jed Steer.

Preston are now without a league win since Boxing Day and are seven points off the automatic promotion spots.

Yeovil, meanwhile, remain at the foot of the table but are only two points from safety.

Yeovil Town manager Gary Johnson told BBC Somerset:

Johnson on Preston v Yeovil Town

"I enjoyed the first half as I think we took the game to them. We deserved the goal.

"In the second half, Preston showed their Championship qualities - getting in cross after cross.

"We dealt with most of them but didn't deal with one, but then we saw the game out well.

"We'd have taken 1-1 but we were disappointed as we were 1-0 up."
