Carl Winchester had put Oldham ahead on the stroke of half-time, but Joel Grant’s equaliser ten minutes after the break and Hayter’s late winner mean Oldham have now lost four of the last five.

Two Preston goals in each half, including a first half-strike from ex-Latics loanee Daniel Johnson, settled the game 4-0 as Oldham lost their third straight match.
