  • 10' It’s high time Alex Neil made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' A quiet spell here at Deepdale Stadium. AFC Bournemouth seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Dominic Solanke suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' AFC Bournemouth come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 30' The travelling AFC Bournemouth supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 33' Poor challenge from Daniel Johnson. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 37' Against the run of play, Arnaut Danjuma has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 42' Paul Huntington is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for AFC Bournemouth tonight.
  • 47' Preston North End FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 52' With 0 assists to his name this season, Shane Long is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Preston North End FC.
  • 57' Preston North End FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 62' AFC Bournemouth have won 443 goals from 337 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 66' The whistle greets Tom Barkhuizen as he departs to be replaced by Sean Maguire.
  • 70' Daniel Johnson adds to his 0 season tally! Preston North End FC lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.

  • 75' The whistle greets Lewis Cook as he departs to be replaced by Shane Long.
  • 80' The home supporters are growing impatient. Preston North End FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 84' Preston North End FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Brad Potts is hanging Daniel Johnson on the field on 84 minute.
