Preston North End midfielder Alan Browne turned in one of his top performances for the club during the 3-2 win over Coventry City.

Alan Browne has been with North End for nearly 10 years now, so it's a big statement to say that this was one of his best.

The Irishman was the driving force and beating heart of a North End victory which ended a seven-game winless run.

Browne scored from the penalty spot in the first half to put PNE 2-1 up, but his all-round performance was truly one of his finest.

Alan Browne stats v Coventry City Browne's performance was statistically incredible and summed up the all-action display he produced against the Sky Blues.

The first stat to catch the eye is that Browne had 89 touches of the ball - a full 24 more touches than any other PNE player.

Midfield partner Ben Whiteman had 47 touches, so you begin to see just how influential Browne was in this PNE win.

Browne had three shots, two of which were on target, alongside one key pass and two successful dribbles.

Browne's excellence wasn't just in an attacking sense though as he was very effective defensively too.

Four interceptions, five clearances and one tackle; Browne truly did it all and WhoScored graded him as the Man of the Match with an 8.07 rating.

This was a real captain's performance from Browne, with boss Ryan Lowe hailing him as 'fantastic' against Coventry.

It may be difficult for Browne to replicate this kind of performance again, but if ever there was a day to do it, it may just be against rivals Blackburn Rovers on Friday.
