19 fantastic photos as Preston North End fans celebrate FA Cup triumph over rivals Burnley

PNE saw off Lancashire rivals Burnley in Saturday’s FA Cup fifth-round clash.

Paul Heckingbottom’s men progressed to the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time in 59 years after the 3-0 win at Deepdale.

A dominant first half performance saw the Lilywhites take a two-goal lead into half time before Will Keane sealed the victory with his strike on 73 minutes.

The North End head coach was impressed with his side’s performance and spoke of his excitement, with his side one win away from a trip to Wembley.

Heckingbottom said post-match: “It is a big deal for the club, the fans. I found it hard to believe (it’s the first quarter-final since 1966) for a club with this history and the teams that Preston have had over the years. We've won today and the excitement around what's next, the potential of what's next, it's a different feel, a different buzz - and that's why I love the cup competitions.”
