The Dane, now in his third campaign at Deepdale, stepped up as the matchwinner on Saturday. His precise strike from range earned the Lilywhites a 3-2 comeback win at Sheffield Wednesday to keep PNE in the playoff places after 17 matches.

In his post-match interview, Heckingbottom shared how Frokjaer's finishing in training - on the Thursday before the game - was the best he'd seen from the midfielder.

His winner at Hillsborough was another memorable moment for him, and the team, away from home.
