Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom has praised his side's dominance in their 2-0 win versus Charlton Athletic.

Goals from Thierry Small and Daniel Jebbison pushed the Rams into fourth place on 16 points as they ended the "very dangerous" Charlton's four game unbeaten run.

"We were really good today, very dominant from start to finish and I just said to the players, if anyone's watched Charlton as much as I have and the staff have this season, they'll realise how impressive that is because they've given everyone a game and been a handful for everyone," said Heckingbottom to BBC Radio Lancashire.

"Today we were very strong. I'm really pleased with how we went about it because one of their main threats is set plays.

"They've been very good from them, not only scoring goals. They're also not bothered that they don't play many passes; they're very dangerous.

"Nathan [Jones] sets his teams up well to press and try to win the ball and on that turnover, they'll be really quick and try to score goals."
