Barkhuizen's Preston North End overpowered by Collins' hat-trick at Luton Town

Tom Barkhuizen’s presence could not help Preston North End from falling to a 3-0 defeat to Luton Town in a Championship match on Saturday.

The 27-year-old attacking midfielder was in action for 57 minutes as Jamie Collins' hat-trick secured all three points for the hosts.

During the encounter, the South African descent managed just a shot with one dribble completed and the joint-highest pass accuracy (83.3 per cent) for Preston North End.

Saturday’s outing was Barkhuizens’ 17th appearance in the Championship but he could not add to his tally of four goals.

The result at Kenilworth Road came as a disappointment for Preston North End after their 3-0 victory over Middlesbrough in a midweek fixture.
