Preston North End 0 Sheffield United 2: Oli McBurnie doubles Blades' lead after Ndiaye's opener

AND it’s Ndiaye who gets it with a superb bit of composure and finish off the post, he goes off on a mazy run of celebration as his song echoes out of the away end - a Blades lead perhaps against the run of play but who cares? He could easily have snatched at it but took his time, went around a couple of men and fired in off the post - what a player

Ben Whiteman almost lit it up with a good sidefooted effort against his old side that had Foderingham scrambling but it’s just wide of his top corner

as North End run out of steam a little after a period of sustained pressure they put United under, United haven’t really got going either themselves and the game seems to have gone a little flat all of a sudden

as Basham tries to beat his man down the left and is tackled, PNE suddenly have a 3-on-1 advantage but Parrott’s touch is awful and the chance goes begging - just minutes earlier Basham did superbly to cut out a dangerous low cross but he was a lucky man there

as Hughes gets his head to a cross and flicks it goalwards but it lacks power and Wes gathers easily

as he takes down Ndiaye, no complaints there

as a cross from the right is flicked on into the path of Riis but he can only touch it wide

from McCann as Preston continue to take pot shots from long range,Norwood clears the corner but it’s another flag kick and Norwood clears again at the front post

sees him get the better of Riis lining up again on the left of defence from the start, Ahmedhodzic on the right as they finished at Swansea on Tuesday

as McBurnie’s shot hits an arm after Baldock’s cross, in the PL it’d be given by either the ref or certainly VAR with the unnnatural position of the arm but nothing given here - almost like it’s a different game
