Midfield Dynamo

Alan Browne's corking strike in Preston North End's draw against Bolton (2-2) on Saturday was his 8th Championship goal of 2018 - making him the most prolific midfielder in the division so far this year.

The dipping left-foot volley from outside the area was the 23-year-old's second goal of this season - his first being Preston's matchwinner in their opening league fixture against QPR.

The Irishman has picked up where he left off last season - when he scored three goals in North End's last five matches. PNE ultimately just missed out on a place in the play-offs by two points in 2017/18 - losing out to Derby County.

The Lilywhites' next match sees them pitted against struggling Reading at Deepdale on September 15th.
