Fifth yellow for Lewis; will be suspended for Preston's match against Coventry.

I've got the game on radio online... sounds like it was well-taken.

...but I'd have rather he saved that free kick for another team

From Preston's PBP:

Lewis and Alexander stand over the free kick and the American lines it up. GOAL!! Eddie Lewis picks it out perfectly and curls a brilliant effort into the top right hand corner (21) past Ian Walker - pick that out!

...

North End are trying to get Eddie Lewis into the
action as much as possible, with his delivery a real
threat.
...

North End have to come forward to look for an
equaliser and they look to thge wings as much as possible to get Lewis and Carts delivering testing balls into the box.

...

North End force Leicester on the back foot and Cresswell and Koumantarakis almost work an opening (67), before Alexander crosses for Eddie Lewis deep at the back post, but his header can only find the side netting. Lewis is getting more in the game again and only a few seconds later another deep ball is almost put across the face of the goal by the American, but the linesman says the ball has gone out.

Wow, Lewis scoring is worth only 10 posts (before this one) while McHead coming off after 65 or so minutes is worth nearly 100.

I can't imagine anything more clearly illustrating the gulf between the Premiereship and the First Division.

IIRC, Leicester were enjoying the better of play at that time

Leicester get three more points and Lewis scores, an ideal result for me!
