Gabriel Sara scored the only goal of the game at Deepdale - in the 86th minute
Norwich City manager David Wagner has identified the two key factors in his side’s 0-1 win at Preston North End. The Canaries took a huge step towards securing a play-off place, with three points at Deepdale - thanks to Gabriel Sara’s 86th minute strike. North End knew they needed to win, to keep their hopes of breaking into the top six alive. Ryan Lowe’s side rattled the woodwork, just before half time, but were largely nullified by the visitors - who limited PNE to a couple of shots on target.
Post-match, he said: 'In ball possession we were very calm, very composed and never rushed it -without creating so many clear cut chances. We always looked in control and I always had the feeling that we should score. We gave very little away and they are a threat in transition, which we avoided - and a threat in set pieces, they showed why. This was the only area where we had some problems. It was a deserved win.
