Two presentation goals from full backs and two penalty kicks were the features of a well-fought game at Deepdale. Lambert passed back and beat his own goalkeeper. Andy Beattie passed back to Shafto, who scored a smart goal. Beattie converted a spot kick and Fairbrother saved Eastham’s penalty drive. Otherwise Liverpool would have gained a well-deserved point. Kinghorn and Shafto were lively sharp-shooting members of a virile attack.
