Kevin Davies scored his first goal for Preston as they beat Oldham to move into the League One play-off places.
The 36-year-old summer signing drove a penalty just inside the post after he had been fouled by James Wesolowski.
Stuart Beavon had given North End the lead when he unknowingly flicked in Joel Byrom's free-kick and Scott Laird later missed a chance for a third.
Oldham dominated the closing stages and James Tarkowski powerfully headed in a corner but they could not grab a point.
Tarkowski earlier had a header saved by Preston keeper Declan Rudd while the follow-up effort from Danny Philliskirk was cleared off the line.
North End are now sixth in the table, unbeaten in their six matches, while the Latics are four points behind in 14th place.
