    "We moved the ball with real diligence, technical ability and created numerous chances.

    "Really pleasing that we got an early goal. Overall, I think it is well-documented on the defensive side, we are rock solid.

    Preston North End boss Paul Heckingbottom was pleased with his side's performance in their win against Norwich City.

    Milutin Osmajic's goal earned Preston only their third away win of the season and dented the Canaries' hopes of moving into the Championship play-off places.

    Heckingbottom's side have now lost just one of their past eight games in league and FA Cup.

    "I'm really pleased, Norwich are a talented group and to win there you've got to get a lot of things right," he told BBC Radio Lancashire.

    "The players were magnificent for the whole game and Freddie [Woodman] only had one shot to save and that was from distance. That shows how well the team defended.

    "The one critical thing was we didn't take our chances at the other end and make it more comfortable so that shows how well we played."
