These two teams were both at the topof the form table with Preston riding high in their loftiest position of the season but they were outdone by a classy Swansea side.
The match was over early in the first half when Gomes slid the ball into the net after only two minutes. Jason Scotland who is on fire then added a second for the hosts before the break.
Bouza added a third before things went from bad to worse with Preston having used up all substitutes, the injured Wallace limped off leaving North End with only ten men. Tate then scored a fourth before Brown netted a consolation in the last minute.
