Here are the ratings of the North End players. It is fair to say no one stood out.

The left-back had a few decent moments and perhaps the pick of the outfield players. Photo: Camerasport
6. Alan Browne 4
The skipper was well out of sorts in midfield, not himself at all. Photo: Camerasport
7. Ryan Ledson 5
Bit unlucky to be subbed at half-time, that more a sacrifice to reshape midfield. Delivered a couple of decent set-pieces in the first half but his passing wasn't great. Photo: Camerasport
8. Tom Barkhuizen 5
Had PNE's one shot on target of the game. North End struggled to get him into the game. Photo: Camerasport
