A promising start in central Lancashire soon turned to ash for Barnet as Keanu Marsh-Brown’s 15th minute red card gave Preston North End an early advantage in a 6-0 FA Cup first round win.
The Bees made a bright start to the match with KMB proving a menace to the Lilywhites’ defence but with quarter of an hour played he given a straight red card for a lunging challenge on Scott Laird.
This effectively ended the match as a contest as Preston dominated from start to finish with Tom Clarke, a Joe Garner double and a Paul Gallagher hat trick securing a comfortable win for the home side.
