It turned out to be a hugely difficult night for Preston North End on Tuesday, as Alex Neil's men were defeated 2-0 by Leeds United at Deepdale.

The Lancashire club will have been looking to get their play-off push back on track and bounce back from a 1-0 weekend defeat to Sheffield United, with a win over the promotion-chasing Whites.

But after a drab first-half, North End's night was thrown into limbo and made extremely difficult, when Ben Pearson was sent off after 49 minutes. Leeds ultimately made Neil's men pay, with Patrick Bamford netting a second-half brace.

Astonishingly, Pearson's red card was his third dismissal of the season, having been sent off against Bolton Wanderers and Sheffield Wednesday earlier on in the season - the 24-year old has also received 14 yellow cards.

The former Manchester United man clearly has a discipline issue, however North End will now have to pay the price, with the club now sitting six points adrift of the play-off spots and without one of their best players for the next three games.
