Alan Browne and Liam Lindsay scored the goals as PNE won 1-2 in Friday night's Lancashire derby
Preston North End had gone from right to left successfully at Ewood Park before, but Alan Browne 's opening goal was a level up. As the captain broke forward into vacant final third space, it was just a matter of whether Brad Potts could pick Preston's number eight out. Once he got his head up and managed to do that, you had full confidence in Browne to stick the chance away. He never felt like he was going to miss, either.
It was mostly tactical, but a bit of tiredness in there as well.' The neutrals who tuned into this one on Sky Sports will have not been disappointed. This was a Lancashire derby played in the right way: two teams putting every ounce into the match, in search of the bragging rights. The start to the game set the tone and it was end-to-end throughout.
