Sean Maguire: It’s the best feeling I’ve had

Republic of Ireland and former Cork City striker Sean Maguire was relieved to turn tears to cheers after his dramatic return to action with a brace in Preston’s 3-1 Championship win at Bolton.

It was Maguire’s first appearance since damaging his hamstring against Aston Villa last October and then being forced to have an operation.

Preston were being held 1-1 by Bolton when Maguire was sent on in the 65th minute and he responded with a double to take his tally from his last four appearances to four.
