Iwelumo's hat-trick helped Burnley earn Lancashire bragging rights
Chris Iwelumo scored a hat-trick as Burnley produced a stunning late fightback to defeat 10-man Preston.

Iwelumo made it 1-0 with a header but Preston hit back through crisp finishes from Adam Barton and Keith Treacy.

Jon Parkin made it 3-1 to the visitors but the match turned after the sending off of Preston's Billy Jones.

Iwelumo reduced the arrears with a fine volley after 84 minutes and equalised with a header, before Jay Rodriguez nodded in a 90th-minute winner.

It was an astonishing turnaround from Burnley but a nightmare for Preston manager Darren Ferguson, whose team appeared to have victory in the bag before Jones received a second yellow card for time-wasting.

Laws realistic despite last-gasp winner

Ferguson was watched by his father Sir Alex, whose Manchester United team had given up 3-1 lead to Everton in their 3-3 draw earlier in the day.

Preston started the brighter with Keith Treacy drawing a fine save from Burnley goalkeeper Brian Jensen and Daniel Fox blocking an effort from Josh King.

But Burnley took the lead against the run of play when former Preston winger Ross Wallace crossed from the left for Iwelumo to head home.

Preston drew level when a long ball caused havoc in the Burnley defence, allowing Barton a clear run on goal to score.

Treacy gave North End the lead with a fine goal, latching on to a loose ball and drilling a fierce low shot in off the inside of the post.

Treacy turned provider for the third goal after 70 minutes as his left-footed cross was brilliantly converted by Parkin.

Ferguson fumes at 'disgraceful' decision

The dismissal of Jones with 12 minutes remaining seemed to instil Burnley with belief, while Preston simply fell to pieces.

Iwelumo made it 3-2 with a fine low volley from the edge of the area and then produced a clever flicked header to draw the hosts level.

The onslaught continued, and in the last minute of normal time, unmarked substitute Rodriguez headed home to complete a remarkable comeback.
