For Hull, their struggles continue, particularly away from home where they are still looking for a first clean sheet of the season.
They were, at times, decent going forward and had chances to both take the lead and draw level.
It was also a result though which could reduce Selles’ honeymoon period in the job with tough-looking home fixtures against Middlesbrough and Leeds next up.
The Tigers had started on the front foot, pinning back a slow-starting North End and carving the game’s first and perhaps best chance inside six minutes.
Freddie Woodman deserves huge credit for an excellent reaction save, getting down to his right sharply to deny Joao Pedro’s fierce shot from just inside the box.
But in blocking the ball out to his right, he presented Regan Slater with a near open goal only for the Hull midfielder to side-foot over from six yards out.
It was a let-off which stung Preston into action, the hosts putting together a couple of decent moves as the half wore on and, but for a lack of composure and quality in front of goal, they could have taken the lead.
In a tightly contested match, Preston North End emerged victorious with a 1-0 win over Hull City. The only goal of the game was scored by Brad Potts, piling more pressure on the struggling Tigers.
Potts’ goal came in the second half, as he capitalized on a defensive error from Hull City to slot the ball past the goalkeeper. Despite Hull City’s efforts to find an equalizer, Preston’s defense held strong to secure the three points.
The result leaves Hull City languishing near the bottom of the table, while Preston North End will be hoping to build on this win and climb up the standings. The pressure is mounting on Hull City’s manager as they continue to struggle to find form this season.
Overall, it was a hard-fought victory for Preston North End, and they will be looking to carry this momentum into their next match. As for Hull City, they will need to regroup and find a way to turn their fortunes around before it’s too late.
