Preston North End were beaten 2-1 in the 95th minute by Swansea City, as Jamie Paterson's second half brace downed the Lilywhites.

Here are our player ratings from south Wales.

Nothing he could do about Paterson's precise strikes. Made a great save to deny Lowe in the first half and smothered Key's effort from a tight angle. Got away with one big time in the second half when he was dispossessed.

Wasn't overly troubled in the game and will therefore be extremely disappointed to have shipped two goals.

A horrible late blow, with Paterson working room for the shot and firing in the last gasp winner. Had defended relatively well over the piece.

3. Liam Lindsay - 5

Kept his game simple at left centre-back and put in a steady shift despite the defeat.
