Preston North End secured back to back home wins for the first time this season as they beat Swansea City 1-0 at Deepdale.
The home side had the first chance of the game, Robbie Brady's cross from the left finding the head of Emil Riis who attempted to flick the ball into the far corner but it was a tough one to get underneath with the cross a little low, five minutes in.
Riis should have put North End ahead after 17 minutes. A wonderful flowing move from the Lilywhites cutting the visitors apart with Potts' low cross finding the Danish striker just six yards out but he put his shot wide of the far post. The Swans came out for the second half in much better form than they ended the first with, but it was North End that had the first chance.
Just short of the hour mark Swansea nearly found a leveller as Jay Fulton had enough time in the area from a corner to strike at goal butSwansea continued to be the better side in the second half but their next chance came a little while later, on 74 minutes. Harry Darling flicked on a free kick from the left but only into Woodman's chest.
