Simon Grayson hails 'professional' Preston North End

Preston North End boss Simon Grayson applauds his side's professionalism following their 3-0 win against Havant & Waterlooville.

Preston North End manager Simon Grayson has hailed his side's professionalism following their 3-0 victory over Havant & Waterlooville in the first round of the FA Cup.

A Callum Robinson hat-trick put the Conference South outfit to the sword, and the Lilywhites boss was quick to praise his players for the way they executed their gameplan.

"It was very professional. It was a word we used before the game so many times and again at half time we reminded the players it was a no-win situation - if you win it everyone expects you to and if you don't it is a massive upset and you can suffer the consequences," he told the club's website.

"Our approach was really good; the early goal settled us down and from then on we looked in control. Havant had their moments but our players focused on what they needed to do and executed the game plan really well."

Preston will face the winners of Walsall and Shrewsbury Town's first-round replay in the second round.
