Preston 0 Albion 1

A last-minute Charlie Austin penalty helped Albion return to the top of the Sky Bet Championship with a fifth-successive victory.

Despite a dominant performance Slaven Biliu0107’s side found themselves heading into the final minute level at 0-0, but when Kyle Edwards rushed through on goal he was tripped by Declan Rudd, and Oliver Langford pointed to the spot.

Charlie Austin scored from the spot, sending Rudd the wrong way before side-footing his penalty into the bottom-right corner - creating scenes of jubilation in the away end.
