Lewis Dobbin netted in back-to-back matches as Preston beat Southampton 2-0 to heap more pressure on Saints boss Will Still.

The Lilywhites bounced back into the play-off places with their first consecutive league wins since the opening two matches.

Aston Villa loanee Dobbin's first-half rebound set them on their way before Mads Frokjaer-Jensen added gloss in the 94th minute.

Southampton have won just twice at home since the start of last season and hover just three points above the relegation zone. They were booed off at the end of the match.

Southampton had plenty of early possession but struggled to break down Preston and subsequently offered little in front of goal.

The first 25 minutes only offered two half-chances, at either end.

For Saints, Leo Scienza's in-swinger bounced through to Ronnie Edwards at the back post, he pulled back to Flynn Downes but his shot was blocked in the six-yard box.
