Preston manager Simon Grayson:

"I think if anyone watched the game they will see how well we've played. We dominated the ball, the chances and the play.

"We limited them to hardly any possession second half, so to get hit on the sucker punch is very difficult to take.

"We've not deserved to lose that game, but that's football. It can be cruel at times. We just have to keep believing in what we are doing and eventually the breaks will come for us."

Barnsley manager Paul Heckingbottom:

"We earned the right to play a bit more football late on and we saw the game out with a fantastic goal.

"We changed the formation as the game went on and we felt that if we could get someone behind their two midfielders it could cause them a problem.

"We know we weren't at our best on the ball, but we really put our bodies on the line. I'm very proud of them and I think the fans are proud of them as well because that passion is what they want to see.

"We have shown we can score goals and win games at this level and we've shown two different ways to win."
