Blackburn Rovers boss Paul Lambert admits that he was elated to pick up a victory in his first game in charge as his side defeated Preston North End at Deepdale.

Blackburn Rovers boss Paul Lambert has revealed that he was delighted to record a win in his first game as the club's manager.

Rovers defeated Preston North End 2-1 at Deepdale as an own goal from Jordan Pickford and a second-half penalty from Jordan Rhodes were enough to secure the three points in the Lancashire derby.

Lambert told Sky Sports News: "It was strange being back. After nine months out, for the first time in 40 years I was enjoying my life. Then you are back in the hot seat - the highs and lows - but it's great to be back.

"We played a terrific game of football. The atmosphere was great in the stadium and we scored two goals against a team that hadn't conceded in six games.

"The team deserves so much credit for that and I think we looked a threat every time we went forward. Today is a marker that we can win games. The back four were colossal for us. They were proper men, proper defenders."

Blackburn's win elevated the club into 13th place in the Championship.
