Preston North End boss Paul Heckingbottom said his side were the dominant team in the draw with Millwall on Tuesday.

Emil Riis Jakobsen's long-range strike earned North End a point at Deepdale, cancelling out Mihailo Ivanovic's first-half free-kick, but Heckingbottom believes his side deserved all three.

"We were certainly the dominant team but it's a positive point," he told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"There were some good performances from a lot of the players and we come away from that positively, or maybe it's the fact I'm not up in the stands anymore I'm feeling good."

Heckingbottom completed the second of his two-match touchline ban following his red card in the win at Watford in January, meaning he will be back on the bench for Preston's trip to Coventry on Saturday.

"I bet we've doubled their shots, I bet we've quadrupled their touches in the box," the former Sheffield United manager added.

"We were the more dangerous team, so, I'm pleased with that but not pleased we haven't got the three points."
