Really good result and quite deserved.
A few words of caution to start though. I though Preston were the worst side I've seen this season except us, so baffled how they're riding so high. Plus despite better defending and play in general they still got a couple of alarming free headers they didn't do anything with. We'll need to play better to get a run of results.
Ref: 4 no control over the game at all. Let loads of their shithousery go and blew up every time one of them fancied a sit down.
Cabral 6 solid. There when called on but nothing spectacular. Couple of shit kicks.
Yiadom 6 much more present in defence, but still allergic to making an early cross. Good cutting inside still.
Obita 7 quite but solid game, more conservative than Yiadom, but also more likely to cross.
Both still getting isolated and targeted, but CBs better set up to help out.
Moore - 7 much better performance on the left
Morrison - 8 like the player we saw in the first few games. Focus on him defending, not passing.
Miazga - 9 there for the winner and made sure. Solid at the back too under intense shithousery.
Pele - 6 meh he's ok. Not convinced but decent game
Swift - 6 very mixed. Some very sloppy passing and slowed things down, but also a strong outlet and threat
Ejaria - 8 deserved a goal, but does need to find that final ball more, and the extra touch and turn less.
Puscas - 6 came close a couple of times
Meite - 7 worked hard as ever.
Baldock - 7 injected some pace and directness
Loader - 5 not really a game I'd have picked for him to excel
Adam - 5 he's so off the pace of the game when the opposition have the ball it's terrifying, but he's got a decent brain and pass in him still.
Bowen 7 more direct, better intensity, better belief, but lots of work to do yet. Still think the flanks are a bug problem and we can't play both Ejaria and Swift in central midfield.
