Barkhuizen ends 15-game goal drought with brace in Preston North End win

Tom Barkhuizen scored a brace to end his 15-game goal drought in Preston North End's 3-0 victory over Barnsley in a Championship fixture.

The forward last scored a goal during a league match back in October against Blackburn Rovers where he scored a brace.

On Tuesday at Oakwell, Barkhuizen opened the scoring for the visitors in 19th minute and later grabbed his second of the night on the stroke of half-time to give Preston North End a three-goal lead.

The efforts stretched the 26-year-old's tally to seven goals after 27 league outings this term.
