Middlesbrough 1-2 Preston: North End strike twice to deny Chris Wilder first win

Preston North End came from behind to shock Middlesbrough with a smash-and-grab performance at the Riverside Stadium in the Championship.

Ched Evans' header from a corner levelled it in the 77th minute after Paddy McNair had opened the scoring for Boro in the first half.

Emil Riis Jakobsen smashed home the winner minutes later after Sol Bamba failed to clear the ball.

Boro had no response as Chris Wilder's wait for his first win continued.

The new manager watched his side dominate but fail to get over the line in a 1-1 draw with Millwall in his first game in charge last Saturday, and it was a similar story again against the Lilywhites.
