PRESTON North End were victorious in their final home game of the season, ending the campaign on a high with a 2-0 win against Barnsley on Saturday.

The visitors came into the game with a place in the play-offs already guaranteed, an enviable position from Preston’s point of view as they were hoping for a play-off push of their own this season.

Pre-season predictions had Barnsley down for another campaign of possible relegation worry, with the South Yorkshire side having finished just a point above the drop zone last year.
