They were in fine form as they beat Blackburn Rovers 4-1 at Ewood Park. Ben Woodburn opened the scoring for North End before Ched Evans doubled their lead.
Bradley Dack scored for Rovers but Evans quickly restored their advantage before Ben Whiteman finished off the scoring.
The win sent PNE into fourth at the final whistle and fifth at the end of the day, with four wins from their last five games.
Here’s how we rated the PNE players on the day...
5. Brad Potts - 8
Was very disruptive down the right hand side as Rovers looked to build out and on a couple of occasions used his impressive engine to drive PNE up the pitch. Photo: CameraSport - Mick Walker
6. Ben Whiteman - 8
Despite missing a couple of games before the international break, and having four weeks off, it was like Whiteman had never been away. Composure on the ball paired with the quality to use it. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
7. Ryan Ledson - 8
Like Lindsay, Ledson signed a new deal this week also and again, he showed just why he's so needed. He set the tone inside the opening minutes with a crunching tackle and didn't give Rovers an inch as PNE won the midfield battle. Photo: Barrington Coombs
8. Alvaro Fernandez - 7
His energy gave Blackburn a torrid time and when in the final third he always seems to pick the right option. Pulled the ball all the way out for Daniel Johnson to tee up Ben Whiteman to make it four. Photo: CameraSport - Mick Walker
