Here is how we rated the Owls’ individual performances at Deepdale.
1. Keiren Westwood 5
Was a relative spectator until Johnson's first penalty. Made a smart second half stop to deny Preston substitute Tom Barkhuizen. Photo: Steve Ellis
2. Moses Odubajo 3
A nightmare afternoon for the full-back. He gave two penalties away. Both were silly, mistimed challenges on Sean Maguire. Photo: Steve Ellis
3. Tom Lees 5
Found it tough going to shackle big Preston centre-forward Jayden Stockley. Not one of his more commanding performances. Photo: Steve Ellis
4. Julian Borner 5
Headed a first half Barry Bannan corner narrowly wide. Won his fair share of balls in the air and made a number of key interceptions. Photo: Steve Ellis
