Key Highlights
- Preston were down to 10 men just after the break when last man Jordan Storey saw red for hauling down Conway, who completed the scoring as Middlesbrough claimed a fourth successive league win. They are now breathing down the necks of Coventry, who travel to Norwich on Monday, but Hellberg said he wants to get the best out of his side rather than obsess over the table.“Of course I watch the table but we need to keep our performance up,” he said.
- “It’s not for me to focus too much on the table because I need to prepare my team and develop them.
- We’re always trying to get better.
- We never stop trying to get better the next day than we were the day before.”For Preston it was a fourth successive defeat in all competitions, and they have failed to find the net in their last 380 minutes of competitive football.
- “We’ve gifted the game to Boro,” said Paul Heckingbottom.
