Callum Robinson has made 10 appearances for Preston North End this season

Callum Robinson scored a late goal to give Preston North End three points against Hull City at the KCOM Stadium.

Tom Barkhuizen gave North End the lead when, amid a scramble in the box, he fired home from a tight angle.

Hull levelled after the break through Jarrod Bowen, who slotted the ball past keeper Chris Maxwell from close range.

On the counter, Preston were rewarded with just two minutes left when Robinson headed into an empty net from Daryl Horgan's right-wing cross.

Preston's victory maintains the pressure on the Championship frontrunners as they made it seven games unbeaten and are fourth after the result.

It is the first time Alex Neil has won back-to-back away league matches as a manager since April 2015 during his time in charge of Norwich City.

Meanwhile Hull, who had won five of their past six home games against North End prior to Tuesday's encounter, lost for the fifth time in the league this season and slip to 17th.

Their winless run stretches to five games, with their last Championship victory coming against Bolton in August.

Hull City boss Leonid Slutsky:

"I say sorry to the supporters because I understand they must be disappointed because we don't bring results, I don't bring results. It's very difficult speaking about a performance when you concede in the last minute and it's not the first time.

"In this situation it's possible to lose confidence because everyone is frustrated now and it's very difficult, because each match is very close. In each match we have chances to win but we can't.

"When you don't win five matches in a row of course you lose confidence. It's a new team and results are important for developing."

Preston North End manager Alex Neil:

"It was a great result. I thought over the piece we deserved to win the game.

"I had a real decision as to whether I bust the game open with an aggressive substitute or being happy with a point.

"I made the decision to go for the game and they rewarded me by winning the match - one sub creating the goal and one sub scoring the goal."
