Preston’s Danny boy storms Palace

PRESTON boss Billy Davies hailed Danny Dichio after the striker’s double took Preston into the FA Cup fifth round at the expense of Crystal Palace.

Dichio's goals helped North End come from behind to earn a 2-1 win at the home of their Coca-Cola Championship rivals in last night's fourth-round replay and extend their unbeaten run to 23 matches.

Dichio's efforts were his first since August and took his tally since his summer move from Millwall to just three, but Davies insisted Dichio's lack of goals were not a problem.
