Preston North End player ratings vs Coventry City with two 8/10s as AFC Bournemouth man shines

Preston North End fought back against Championship leaders Coventry City to draw 1-1 at Deepdale on Tuesday night.

Here are our player ratings from the game

Starting XI

Daniel Iversen: Two great saves in the first half and an even better one in the second, before further heroics late on. Solid distribution. Potentially, a bit of miscommunication between himself and Lindsay for the red. 8

Jordan Storey: Forced Rudoni into some awkward areas in the first half and did well after being moved to the middle of the back three. Struggled a tad early on with balls in behind but battled until the end. 6.5

Liam Lindsay: Can’t really have any complaints about his red card. Had been hot and cold before he was given his marching orders. 4

Andrew Hughes: Had a solid game before the own goal, which was hugely unfortunate for the Welshman. Pushed forward down the left in the second half. 6.5

Odel Offiah: Got up and down the pitch and put in a big shift. Showed great physicality especially in first half. 6.5

Jordan Thompson: Was fired up and won a lot of battles in the first half. Looked to keep things alive in tight midfield spaces early on with mixed success. Was quieter as the game went on. Lasted over 70 minutes in another step closer to full fitness. 6

Harrison Armstrong: Another calming but industrious performance from the loan man. Forced Rushworth into a strong save with a thumping, hooked volley and set up North End’s best chance of the first half. 7

Thierry Small: Probably one of his toughest evenings defensively against Sakamoto, but still looked a threat going forward. 6

Ben Whiteman: Grew into the game after a tough first 20 minutes, marshalled the midfield in the second half and made some stellar blocks. Worked his socks off. 7

Lewis Dobbin: Lively in the opening exchanges. Evening cut short after being taken off following Lindsay’s red. 6

Daniel Jebbison: Worked ever so hard, especially off the ball and richly deserved the goal, which was well hit and rooted Rushworth to the spot. One of if not his best outings yet. 8

Substitutes

Pol Valentin: Brilliant drive and cross for Jebbison’s goal. Put his body on the line on a couple of occasions to deny long-range Coventry efforts. 7

Alfie Devine: Put the necessary work in out of possession. 6

Stefan Thordarson: Made some important defensive interventions. 6

Michael Smith: Held the ball up well when there was the chance to. 6

Andrija Vukcevic: Introduced in added time. 6
