Sean Maguire nets for Preston but goes off injured

Seán Maguire assisted and scored a goal for Preston in their Championship clash with Fulham but the day ended on a sour note for both as the Ireland striker limped off injured after 31 minutes while Fulham bagged a 96th minute equaliser to make it 2-2.

In-form Preston still extended their unbeaten run to nine games, but missed the chance to move into the automatic promotion positions ahead of Wolves’ match against Aston Villa. It was Fulham’s fourth draw in six home games, but they deserved a point for a spirited fight back from two goals down.

Jordan Hugill gave Preston the lead with his fourth league goal of the season after 18 minutes and Maguire deflected in Tom Barkhuizen's shot to make it 2-0 seven minutes later.

However, after taking a heavy knock the 23-year-old limped down the tunnel with strapping on his right leg.

Fulham's Oliver Norwood pulled one back from the penalty spot in the 74th minute before disaster struck right at the death thanks to a dreadful mistake from goalkeeper Chris Maxwell which allowed Denis Odoi to score.

Maxwell dropped a long hopeful punt from Fulham's Tim Ream 16 yards out and Odoi poked the loose ball into the empty net seconds away from the end of added time.

Phil Parkinson’s side had not found the net in any competition since August – a 3-2 home win in the Carabao Cup against Wednesday – and the Owls made obliging guests once more.
