Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom praised Daniel Iversen after the goalkeeper's blunder led to Millwall's equaliser in the 1-1 draw at The New Den.

"It was a beauty, wasn't it? I've seen a few of them before from goalkeepers – it's never nice when it happens to your team," Heckingbottom told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"I'm really pleased he made a good save in the second half because other than that he was pretty quiet.

"He came for a good cross at the end but again he was protected really well by the team in front of him.

"He's a great character. He's played a lot of games and he knows how valuable he is to us. It's just frustrating when it does cost you points in a game.

"There were good moments but second half I loved the mentality we showed and how combative we were. I really enjoyed the second half."
