Peterborough Win in Pictures

Last updated : 23 August 2009 By Paul Neat
Prior to Saturday, North End's last win over The Posh came on 12th October 1976 but goals form Neil Mellor and Billy Jones secured the win for the Lilywhites who moved up to 4th in the table.

Mellor and Parkin

North End had the lead inside just eight minutes thanks to an excellent run and cross from Chris Sedgwick. The former Rotherham winger found Mellor inside the six yard box who had the simple task of tapping in from close range.

Billy Jones

Billy Jones may have felt hard-done by not to have won the man of the match award but was able to cap off his excellent performance with a goal.

Billy Jones netted his first goal of the season and his third in Preston colours thanks to an audacious lob over Joe Lewis in the Peterborough goal.

Despite the positives, the victory over Peterborough was marred by the injury to Barry Nicholson. The former Aberdeen midfielder suffered a broken leg after challenging for the ball.
