PNE went behind in the match as Florian Camber opened the scoring in the second half, Ben Woodburn quickly won the ball for North End high up the pitch and his cross resulted in the equaliser just minutes late, as Tom Lees steered it into his own net.
Bambo Diaby smashed a volley into the top corner to put Ryan Lowe’s side into the lead, with Alan Browne rounding off the scoring with five minutes to go.

. Freddie Woodman - 5
An unusual performance from the North End no.1, he looked shaky in the game and made a few errors. His pass into midfield was cut out leaving him out of position and saved only by a last ditch block by Diaby. Photo: CameraSport - Mick Walker
. Bambo Diaby - 8
An excellent performance from the Senegalese defender who made key contributions at both ends of the pitch. His last ditch block, preventing a sure goal with an open net, was followed up by a thumping goal at the other end to make it 2-1. And he's a very likeable character to boot.

. Liam Lindsay - 6
A solid performance for the Scot who, on the whole, was not up against much in truth. Gave little away. Photo: CameraSport - Mick Walker
. Andrew Hughes - 6
Looks like he has not been away despite starting only two games since the World Cup break. The Welshman made an important covering run to prevent Huddersfield going through one on one in the first half. Photo: CameraSport - Mick Walker
