Preston North End were unable to make the most of their chances as they were defeated 2-0 by Sheffield United.
A golden opportunity came the way of Emil Riis, who couldn’t sort his feet out to put his first time shot on target from close range, after the ball was flicked in his direction from a cross.
In a matter of minutes after the half hour mark, Ben Whiteman put a side-footed strike just over the bar, while Troy Parrott had a shot deflected wide, as North End continued to push. In the early stages of the second half, George Baldock fired a shot just wide of the left post, as he looked to increase United’s advantage.
