Forest pile pressure on Ferguson
Lewis McGugan's superb second-half double heaped more misery on Preston boss Darren Ferguson as Nottingham Forest stormed back to earn a fine 2-1 victory at Deepdale.
The result served as another damaging blow to Ferguson after his side had lost 4-3 at Burnley on Saturday in dramatic fashion despite leading 3-1 with six minutes remaining.
Jon Parkin showed a deft touch in the 42nd minute, collecting Paul Parry's pass and holding off Chris Gunter before drilling a low left-foot shot into the bottom corner to give Preston the lead.
Forest's threat as an attacking force steadily grew as the second half wore on and they were level after 68 minutes. Tyson found McGugan inside the right channel and the midfielder turned and drove a low left-foot shot from 25 yards which deceived Lonergan and flew into the net.
The visitors continued to probe and began pouring forward in greater numbers, so it was no real surprise when they grabbed the winner with nine minutes remaining
A superb low, left-wing cross by Chris Cohen was met by McGugan, who smashed an unstoppable left-foot shot into the top corner from six yards out.
