Preston North End 1-1 Burnley: Jordan Storey earns point for hosts in Lancashire derby
- Published
Taylor Harwood-Bellis, on loan from Manchester City, scored his first Burnley goal since joining the club this summer
Preston North End came from behind to earn a point in their Lancashire derby against Burnley.
The visitors took an early lead through Taylor Harwood-Bellis but Jordan Storey hit back for Preston soon after.
Alan Browne produced an audacious effort for Preston as he controlled the ball with his chest before his volley was held by Burnley keeper Arijanet Muric.
He then almost headed the winner as the clock ticked towards full-time but Muric once again made the save.
The result means Burnley stretched their unbeaten run to seven games in all competitions and six in the Championship, while Preston moved to eighth thanks to their point.
North End were without boss Ryan Lowe, who was forced to stay in the stands following his red card in their game against Birmingham.
Lowe received a two-game touchline ban which began with the visit of the Clarets, who led through Harwood-Bellis' header from Josh Brownhill's corner.
But Storey's equaliser came just five minutes later, as he also headed home from a corner, with Brad Potts providing the delivery.
Burnley boss Vincent Kompany told BBC Radio Lancashire:
"It's a derby. I don't think we suffered too much, I think we played well. In the first half I think we did enough to win the game. In the second at times we just weren't patient enough.
"Anything can happen, in the end it's a draw, we've got to move on and the performance was encouraging. On another day, you win this game.
"We did everything we needed to do apart from finishing the game in the first half. We move on and we go again on Saturday."
