Two first-half goals from Emil Riis gave the Lilywhites their victory, the Danish striker's opening goal a bit special.
There were several strong performances in the North End team, Riis, Ali McCann and Tom Barkhuizen among those to shine.
Daniel Iversen also made a stunning late save from a deflected shot to ensure a clean sheet.
