Preston 3-2 Stoke

2Slick

Kelvin Wilson scored a late winner as Preston recovered from 2-0 down.

Wilson had a poor start - failing to clear Michael Duberry's long ball, allowing Liam Lawrence to score.

And indecision from Wilson saw Mamady Sidibe head goalwards and then bundle the ball home after Carlo Nash failed to hold it with seven minutes gone.

But Paul McKenna scored from 25 yards, David Nugent converted Simon Whaley's cross and Wilson struck after Steve Simonsen fumbled a cross.
