Preston North End manager Ryan Lowe felt his side were deserving of victory over Blackpool in the Lancashire derby at Deepdale.

Cameron Archer’s goal in first-half stoppage-time settled the contest, the young Aston Villa loanee firing a low shot past Seasiders sub goalkeeper Chris Maxwell into the bottom corner.

Twice PNE hit the bar before that, while they defended their lead well in the second half and restricted the visitors to very little in the box.

Lowe said: “I was pleased with the result and pleased for the fans – that one was certainly for them.

"They had some disappointment at their place and we wanted to try and make sure we put that right.

“I thought our football in the first half was fantastic, second half was a little bit different because they changed shape a couple of times and we had to deal with that.

"They had a threat in certain areas with some individuals, so overall I’m pleased with the performance and delighted with the win.”
