The claim for a penalty against Hughes exactly the same as the one we gave away at Blackburn, two goals deflected the first the lad should have done better the third's a beaut

Preston North End boss Alex Neil:

"It took us time to get into the game. We didn't start the game well and gave them too much time on the ball.

"We got ourselves ahead which we don't normally do. That is something we have spoken about.

"The lads were very strong in the second half. It is a case of taking your chances, we did that and it made the difference."

Huddersfield head coach Carlos Corberán told BBC Radio Sheffield:

"We had two good opportunities in the first half that we didn't take and then lost the ball in the middle of the pitch and allowed them to score.

"We changed at half-time to have two strikers to give us more options, but again lost the ball in the middle of the park and they scored to unbalance the game.

"There were a lot of battles in the middle of the park we needed to win and in the second half they started to win the psychological and physical game to stop all our attacks.
