Preston vs West Brom

North End started with real purpose and tempo and almost hit the front inside three minutes, when Sean Maguire saw a header brilliantly saved from Robbie ...

His turn and pass found Fernandez in the build up to the goal and his intensity was crucial in the middle of the park. Plenty of commitment and heart in his display but loose at times win possession and a little ropey with some of his defending. A little sluggish with some of his decision making and Diangana did cause him real problems. Saved a powerful Wallace shot before the break and denied Grant in the second half with a wonderful save. Allowed the visitors a couple of chances through the middle but on the whole impressive. The Spaniard took one touch and whipped in a wicked delivery with his second, which Emil Riis ran on to and slammed home first-time.
