Maguire continues his rich vein of form

Sean Maguire maintained his blistering form on Saturday, scoring his fourth goal in three games since returning from injury.

However, his strike wasn’t enough to stop Preston slipping to a 2-1 Championship defeat to Fulham.

Maguire’s header 14 minutes from the end hauled Preston level but after Maguire was replaced, Fulham snatched all three points at the death. Defeat leaves Preston four points off a play-off spot but Maguire believes a top-six spot remains an attainable goal.
