TWELVE games undefeated and currently occupying one of the Second Division's automatic promotion places - is it any wonder that David Moyes is a happy man?

Preston put aside the disappointment of failing to overcome non-league part-timers Enfield last night by inflicting upon Luton a rare home defeat.

But Preston are among the country's best travellers so no result away from Deepdale is any surprise: "I thought we were very professional in the way we went about our job, particularly when we had got the advantage of a couple of first half goals" said Moyes.

"Luton are among the better sides at this level but we held them when they threatened to stage a comeback and could even have nicked a couple of more goals ourselves."

Ex-Claret David Eyres showed North End's shot-shy strikers how to do it with a couple of well-taken efforts from which Luton could find no recovery.
