JERMAINE BECKFORD WAS the hero of Deepdale today as he helped Preston North End into the League One play-off final with a brace in a 3 – 0 win over Chesterfield.
Preston led the tie 1 – 0 on aggregate going in to the second leg today, so the contest was already swinging their way when Beckford put the icing on the cake with a glorious lob from just inside the Chesterfield half to make it 3 – 0 to PNE on the day.
