Thomas Bramall was the man in the middle for the Lilywhites' trip to Hull City on Easter Monday.

The Tigers won 2-1 but it was later reported that neither of Joe Gelhardt's penalties should have stood on the day, according to a Key Match Incidents panel - while Preston also should have been given a spot-kick.

PNE manager Paul Heckingbottom was sent off after the final whistle and charged with misconduct by the FA. He had to watch the final game of the season at Bristol City in the stands, having been handed a two-match touchline ban.
