Preston North End secured an important three points on Gentry Day as they ran out 3-1 winners against Barnsley.

The Tykes took the lead through Aiden Marsh before a goal either side of half time from Daniel Johnson set them on their way.

Emil Riis added a third from a tight angle but it could have been more for the Lilywhites on the day.

Had little to do throughout the game and it was poor defending all round for Barnsley's goal.

Looked a bit shaky in the first half, as did all of the PNE defence, but was the pick of the bunch then. Set up Emil Riis' goal.

Looked shaky at the back and was generally beaten in the air too, which is usually his strength. Was taken off at half time for Bambo Diaby after throwing up, which may explain things.

Looked a bit all over the place during the first half but seemed to get to grips with things in the second half. Useful on the ball when he is given time.

Excellent down the right side all day, even when PNE were struggling in the first half. Always positive and rarely gave the ball away, his energy shone through.

A rash start on his return to Oakwell but he settled into the game in the end, just needs to keep his composure at times but looks assured by the end.

Dealt with a longer outing very well, looked bright on the ball and could have had a goal and an assist on another day.

Did not have long to get into the game as the final substitute but could have still come away with a goal, should have scored when Mikey O'Neill squared it to him six yards out but the 'keeper saved it.
