Leeds leave it late as West Brom miss out on chance to stretch advantage

Stuart Dallas hit an equaliser two minutes from full-time as Leeds rescued a 1-1 draw at home to Preston.

The Whites had trailed to Cork native Alan Browne’s 22nd minute opener - with his international team mate Sean Maguire playing a key role in the build up - and looked like they would be left with nothing to show for their dominance. Preston had been forced to soak up a wave of pressure since taking the lead.

Ezgjan Alioski missed an open goal, before he hit the post and then saw a late header brilliantly kept out by Declan Rudd.

But their pressure was finally rewarded when Dallas slotted home from just outside the box with the aid of a deflection off Ryan Ledson.
