How we rated the PNE players against the Canaries
Preston North End surrendered their early two goal lead at Deepdale, to draw 2-2 with Norwich City on Tuesday evening.
Here are our post-match ratings from Deepdale.
Starting XI
Freddie Woodman - 6
Didn’t cover himself in glory for Sainz’ goal. Very few saves to make, if any, during the game.
Jordan Storey - 6
Started well and was alive to danger. Slightly loose in possession at times.
Liam Lindsay - 6
A good battle with Sargent over the course of the 90 minutes. Couldn’t cut out Fisher’s cross.
Andrew Hughes - 6
No glaring errors but couldn’t stop the cross for Sainz’ goal. Sargent slightly too sharp for the second.
Kaine Kesler-Hayden - 7
Full of legs and energy up and down the right, again. Showed quick feet and good recovery speed.
Ben Whiteman - 6
Some tidy, crisp passing early on. Picked up a frustrating yellow card in the first half. Had to work hard off the ball as Norwich enjoyed lots of possession.
Ali McCann - 7.5
Was dominant in the first half and showed plenty of aggression. Ran himself into the ground again.
Robbie Brady - 7
His pass led to Riis winning the penalty. Some more positive moments from him. Impressive fitness levels to keep going until the end.
Duane Holmes - 7
Was lively early doors and took his goal very well. Fatigued as the game wore on but his speed was important for PNE early on.
Sam Greenwood - 8
The stand out performer in the opening exchanges, as PNE went two up. A real nuisance for Norwich early doors. Took his penalty well and provided a lovely assist for Holmes.
Emil Riis - 5.5
Won the penalty and ran his socks off. One big chance went begging in the second half - a big, big moment with the score line 2-1 at the time. Frustration was evident at full time, but he put in a shift.
Substitutes
Mads Frokjaer - 7
Made an impact off the bench. He looked one of the most likely to create a chance or make something happen.
Stefan Thordarson - 5
Wasn’t able to really get himself in the game in those final 15 minutes.
