Defender Graham Alexander's goal from the penalty spot eight minutes from time gave Preston victory over their local rivals at Deepdale.

"It was a very professional performance in the second half to keep grinding away," Davies said after the 1-0 win.

"Burnley are a very well-organised side and their formation makes it difficult for opponents. The players really turned on the heat and the pressure.

"I always knew it was going to be a scrappy 1-0 affair and we have to keep picking these games off one at a time".
