Cameron Archer scored the winning goal for Preston North End in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Hull City and was lauded by the media. The on-loan 20-year-old netted his second goal in four games for Preston, justifying his second start for the club, so his future looks bright.
George Hodgson of Lancashire Live gave Archer a player rating of 9/10 and said the striker was ‘devastating’ in front of goal after missing two earlier chances. Hodgson said Archer was a ‘nuisance’ all game and was ‘unselfish’ at the MKM Stadium.
Dave Seddon of the Lancashire Post gave the England U20 international a player rating of 8/10 and said Archer ‘played ever so well’ after hitting the woodwork with an earlier effort. Seddon praised Archer for his ‘lovely’ goal too as the striker took his chance well.
Alex Dicken of Birmingham Live called Archer’s form ‘red-hot’ this season and called Saturday’s goal ‘decisive’.
Sky Sports’ reporter said Archer converted a Ben Whiteman cross after hitting the post and forcing a brilliant save from Hull goalkeeper Daniel Iversen. Archer was naturally delighted with his contribution in the 1-0 victory and posted pictures on Twitter which supporters reacted positively to.
Aston Villa will be delighted with how Archer’s loan is going at Deepdale. Next up for Preston is a home clash with Huddersfield Town on Wednesday, February 9.
