The72 Football League Weekend Awards: Week 12

PLAYER OF THE WEEKEND: Joe Garner – Preston North End

A hat-trick from one of League One’s best forwards sees the Player of the Weekend award head to Deepdale. Joe Garner scored 24 goals last season, he’s netted 10 so far this time around and his qualities had an exclamation point this Saturday as he single-handedly pulled Preston out of the mire against Fleetwood Town.

Two great headers pulled North End back from their two-nil deficit before a cultured finished earned his side the three points that sees them into second. Simon Grayson has continued to do a great job at the club and they are just five points off high-flying Bristol City with two games in hand, they’ll need Garner to keep firing as they look to seal an automatic promotion spot this season.
