Despite facing heavy pressure from Villa, it was Stefán Teitur Þórðarson who had the best chance in the first half.

The Lillywhites broke forward in a rare attack and Mads Frökjaer-Jensen's knockdown landed perfectly for Þórðarson to convert, but the midfielder fluffed his lines at the vital moment and headered wide from six-yards.
