SPECIAL LOAN MENTION: Man Utd youngster Keane outshines older brother as Preston down Burnley

Will Keane won the household battle against twin brother Michael in Saturday's Championship clash between Preston North End and Burnley.


The 22-year-old striker, on loan from Manchester United, netted a superb goal for the Lilywhites in their surprise 2-0 win over the Clarets at Turf Moor.

18th-placed Preston went in front of fifth-placed Burnley in the 63rd minute when Keane picked up the ball in the middle of the pitch before advancing into the area, getting past Michael Duff, and then firing beyond Tom Heaton despite the best efforts of brother Michael who looked on despairingly.

Daniel Johnson then rifled home Joe Garner's cross in the 86th minute to give Simon Grayson's Preston a shock win over play-off hopefuls Burnley.

The goal, which was Keane's first in the Championship this season, can be seen below from 1:05 -
