He may never have an easier finish in professional football, but Kieffer Moore once again bulged the net for Wrexham to continue his stunning start to his career with the north Wales side.
Just four minutes had elapsed at Deepdale when the 33-year-old was on hand to tap James McClean's cross into the net to give the Red Dragons an early lead against fellow promotion hopefuls Preston North End.
Everton loanee Harrison Armstrong struck his first goal for the Lilywhites late on to ultimately earn Paul Heckingbottom's side a point in Lancashire, but the draw extended Wrexham's unbeaten run in the Championship to nine matches.
It also means Phil Parkinson's men have lost just one of their previous 14 league games, with Wrexham sitting just three points adrift of the play-off places ahead of their trip to Hull City on Wednesday night.
Moore's astonishing efforts in front of goal have been crucial to his side's competitiveness in the second tier, but there was more than just the goal at Preston itself to celebrate for the forward.
The 52-cap Wales international now has 10 goals to his name across all competitions this season, or 11 when you include the match-winner he bagged for his country in their World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan in Astana in September.
As far as his club goal return is concerned, it stacks up incredibly well.
Only five players (Brandon Thomas-Asante, Joe Gelhardt, Carlton Morris, Adam Armstrong and Rumarn Burrell) have bagged more goals in the Championship than Moore this season.
Even more remarkably, all 10 of his Wrexham goals, eight of which have come in the league, have been from open play.

On a more personal level, it is the fifth time since Moore made the step up to the English Football League with Yeovil Town in the summer of 2013 that the forward has reached double figures in a season, and the first time he has done so since netting 20 Championship goals for Cardiff City during the 2020-21 campaign.
It is also just the third time since stepping up from non-league 12 years ago that he has reached 10 goals before Christmas, previously doing so for Rotherham United during a glorious loan spell with the Millers in the opening half of the 2017-18 League One season and with Barnsley at the same level in 2018-19.
"Without a doubt, 10 goals from open play before Christmas is a great return," said Parkinson.
"He's a real handful but he's got a lot to his game.
"I think all of our supporters have seen that in terms of his hold-up play, his ability to stretch the pitch as well and it's great for him to get a goal."

Moore remains pivotal to the way Wrexham operate under Parkinson, with the likes of Sam Smith and Ryan Hardie unable to oust the towering frontman from the starting line-up at present, such is his importance.
And Moore's efforts at club level certainly present Craig Bellamy with something of a dilemma ahead of March.
Wales face Bosnia and Herzegovina at Cardiff City Stadium in a crucial World Cup play-off semi-final on March 26, with the winner going on to host either Italy or Northern Ireland in the final five days later.

Moore missed the November international camp due to a hamstring injury, with Wales' front four of Harry Wilson, Brennan Johnson, Daniel James and David Brooks running riot to earn a 7-1 victory over North Macedonia after Jordan James' maiden international goal sealed a 1-0 win against Liechtenstein three days earlier.
Despite his sublime form, Moore will certainly have a real fight on his hands when it comes to selection for the potential double header, with goal shy Mark Harris playing an impressive role against Belgium in October while Wales' attack gelled to mesmerising effect against North Macedonia.
But it's fair to say he can do no more right now, and his uniqueness at the top end of the pitch will continue to be a wonderful luxury for both Parkinson and Bellamy.
