Is it better than THAT Joe Garner goal?

Probably not, but Neil Kilkenny’s goal against Bristol City on Tuesday was fantastic in its own right.

Collecting the ball outside the box, he curls the ball into the far corner – it’s a real shame Preston couldn’t hold on for the win the goal deserved.

There was almost another fantastic goal on the night at Joe Garner hit the crossbar from 30 yards.

Still, Neil Kilkenny is the one earning the plaudits for technique this time around.

More goals like this will be needed if Preston are to have a successful season.

Their return to the Championship has so far yielded only 4 goals in 7 games. Only Bolton Wanderers have scored fewer.
