Iversen on hand to stop visitors taking the victory

PNE and their visitors shared the spoils when they met at Deepdale on Saturday afternoon.

This is the kind of fixture PNE boss Paul Heckingbottom suspects has been allowed to pass by in recent times.

North End made a reasonable start to the contest, but a flatness crept in as the first half progressed.

There was greater flow about the Robins, who saw Rob Atkinson's effort bring a reflex save from Daniel Iversen, who also made a full-length save from Anis Mehmeti.

Having struggled to get going, a clear opening came out of nowhere for the Lilywhites but a heavy first touch was costly for Milutin Osmajic.
