Piroe hits the bullseye with late pen

LEEDS 2

PRESTON 1

JOEL PIROE'S controversial penalty decided 94th-minute Leeds a fractious affair as kept in touch with the Championship top-two.

At half-time, Leeds fan Luke Humphries paraded the PDC World Darts championship he won against Luke Littler this month.

But after Daniel Farke's side saw chance after chance go begging, he must have thought they had missed the bullseye in a bad-tempered game.

When Ryan Ledson handled in the box in injury time, however, substitute Piroe held his nerve to settle it.

"These are the best wins of the season," said Farke, who dedicated the victory to substitute Jaidon Anthony, whose mum died last week.
