Oxford United boss Des Buckingham told BBC Radio Oxford:

“I was right behind Tyler Goodrham’s strike – and it was a wonderful finish. Seeing him cutting in on the right-hand side, it’s normally him doing that on the opposite side and curling it in with his right foot.

“That’s the reason we signed Tyler to a long-term contract at this club. He’s thriving at the moment in the Championship and long may that continue.

“It’s difficult when the opposition have a new manager in to plan what they might do, and they set up differently to what we thought they would. It took us a little while to get to grips with that. But we managed to get the message on and made some changes which balanced it up and got us back into the game.

“It’s a great start for us in this league. We were coming into the unknown, so to get six points from the first 12 – if you’d offered that to us before the season started with the amount of unknowns and the changes we’ve had in our squad we’d certainly have taken that.”

Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom told BBC Radio Lancashire:

“Coming in 1-1 at half-time it was hard to understand how we were level, but we had been wasteful at one end and the one thing we really got wrong we got punished for. We were upset about that.

“We started the second half well on the front foot and pressing to get the ball back again then their second goal is a killer again for us. It’s just a quick free-kick.

“We had bodies back and, from Oxford’s point of view, they’ll be saying that it’s an unbelievable finish from 25 yards but for us it’s very sloppy.

“All of a sudden we were 2-1 down and didn’t know what’s happened. So it was very frustrating for us in a game I felt we should have won.”
