Preston recorded a comfortable 3-0 win at Morecambe as their preparations for the Championship season continued.

Defender Sean St Ledger opened the scoring after just three minutes with a close-range finish after Chris Sedgwick's run and cross.

Sedgwick was again the provider for the second goal four minutes later when his corner was headed home by Karl Hawley.

And former Liverpool man Neil Mellor wrapped up the scoring midway through the first half when Joe Anyinsah's cross found its way through to him and he buried it from the edge of the area.
