Bell met the cutback 18 yards out but sent a first-time shot rushing past the post. Morris was off target with a header from a corner and headed another set-piece against the frame of the goal before eventually defeating Woodman despite the keeper's efforts to claw the ball off the line. The visitors were in control for long periods against a Preston side low on confidence and on a run of five straight home defeats before Wednesday.
The Hatters had to settle for a point at Preston tonight as the ten-man hosts came from a goal down to draw 1-1 with a late penalty.
Preston reminded the Hatters that they could still carry a threat with Troy Parrott firing into the side-netting, but Town came as close as possible to opening the scoring on 67 minutes when Morris headed another Clark corner against the bar. By the 54th minute the Hatters should have had a goal advantage as well as the extra man, Clark playing Adebayo through the middle, but the striker's shot drifted agonisingly wide of the far post after he opened his body up to sidefoot the ball right-footed.

"It feels a bit more like it," he said. "One thing I've got is belief that we can score goals, win games and keep clean sheets. I know that hasn't been the case ...
It was a great jump to take the ball and that's what he has got. We will look to build on the performance and result today, with 11 men on the pitch. Our main objective now is to get the lads recovered and ready for Friday, to travel to Hull and get a result. "We have managed to get a result with ten men and we want to build on that. When we moved him inside, he was getting the ball on the left, coming inside and causing them real problems. The first half was a game which was a bit dicey from us - they were on the front foot and they are good at what they do: winning first and second balls, getting the ball up to the top, playing in our half and sending crosses into the box. "I said to the boys at half-time to be more on the front foot a bit more and get after them. "We have got the squad and I've just said to the boys that that's going to happen over the next few weeks. "I don't know what my heart rate went up to at that time, but I want the lads to be committed because the fans want tackles and us on the front foot, getting aggressive and around people," he said. I have said many times - it may be a fear factor of not wanting to give the ball away. Not in a million years, but some of them know that their performances haven't been great, so maybe take a step back, have a look at it and go again when called upon." And we've just got to go again and build on it.
Greg Cunningham praised the character and fight of the Preston North End players after coming back to draw 1-1 with Luton Town.
We need to make sure that the tide turns and we can turn these draws into wins. On a more personal note, it was the Irishmanโs first start for North End since the 2-1 defeat to Huddersfield Town in late December, as he registered a full 90 minutes in the heart of defence. Greg said: โAll in all, I think it was a spirited performance and a point that weโll take.
