Preston manager Alex Neil said:
"I didn't see it coming, if I'm being honest. We've been in good form and I thought in our last game we played great against Middlesbrough.
"I went with the same starting eleven because of how well they did. But if we're being brutally honest, they played exactly the same way we did, except they did it a lot better than us.
"We had two or three decent opportunities before they scored - after that, they got a goal which was really straight forward, and from that point onwards I thought they were the better side."
