Ched Evans was the hero on the night, his two goals proving to be the difference after Lucas Joao had initially levelled things up from the penalty spot.
The win sent PNE up to fifth in the table, dropping only one place after the rest of the division caught up with their games on Saturday, the first time in Ryan Lowe’s reign that the Lilywhites have been in the top six.
Here’s how we rated the players on the night…
13. Sean Maguire - 6

14. Ali McCann - 6
A bit of added energy in the middle of midfield as PNE looked to hold onto their lead, he put himself about as always and helped his side to the win. Photo: CameraSport - David Horton
