Barkhuizen on target as Preston North End beat AFC Bournemouth in five-goal thriller

Tom Barkhuizen scored the opening goal as Preston North End pipped AFC Bournemouth to a 3-2 defeat in a Championship match.

Barkhuizen broke the deadlock at the Vitality Stadium in the 16th minute, after benefiting from Daniel Johnson's assist.
