Stockport County 0 Preston North End 5 (League Cup)

A couple of penalties and a brace of goals from Manchester Unites loanees gave Preston a comfortable win in this League Cup opener.
A fairly uneventful first half livened up just before the break when Stockport's Andy Halls brought down Paul Hayes in the penalty area and captain Callum Davidson buried the resulting penalty to give the away team a half time lead.
The second half saw Preston take control and dominate the remainder of the game. On 58 minutes, Manchester United's Matty James, back at Preston for a second loan period, made it 2-0 with a well controlled volley. This lead was extended further when Chris Brown was brought down by Danny Swailes in the area which Hayes put away from the spot. Hayes got his second from close range after good play down the right side from substitute Joshua King, who scored himself to wrap up the win a minute before time.
