Goals from Tom Barkhuizen and Daniel Johnson overturned a deficit inflicted by Jason Knight and here are the player ratings from the game...
1. Declan Rudd - 7
A return to action of injury and an assured one at that. Could do nothing about the goal but sent a great kick in behind for Sean Maguire to win the free kick and see his man sent off.
2. Darnell Fisher - 8
A brilliant return from injury, playing all 90 minutes and not looking off the pace. Offered an outlet going forward and solid in defence. Even got under Wayne Rooney's skin for good measure.
3. Paul Huntington - 7
As usual, when called upon Paul Huntington doesn't let North End down. Solid alongside Bauer although there wasn't too much defend. Will be disappointed with the way the goal was conceded.
4. Patrick Bauer - 7
A solid performance back in the heart of the PNE defence, Derby's forwards getting little out of him. Will be disappointed with the way the goal was conceded and lack of real clearance.
