Daryl Horgan makes first start for Preston, Daryl Horgan produces first piece of magic for Preston

It's just what he does.

It's just business as usual. It's just Daryl bloody Horgan. 62 minutes into Horgan's life as a professional footaller, he's already set the Championship alight with his first assist in his first start for Preston North End. https://www.instagram.com/p/BPP4IHyjQMM/?taken-by=sportsjoedotie The former Dundalk player was thrown into the deep end for his first taste of English league football and he took to it like a deadly shark. The obstacle: Christ Hughton's table-topping Brighton. The outcome: a nifty assist for the Irishman, and Preston doubling their lead. With Ireland assistant manager Roy Keane in attendance, the Galway native gave the Deepdale crowd all the thrills and delights they could not have been expecting from a man on his first start against the most in-form side in the league but it took Horgan 53 minutes to carve an opening for Callum Robinson. In front of 11,391 spectators, Horgan feared absolutely nothing and his long ball sent Robinson in for the hosts' second of the game. The weight, the precision, the vision. Look at it in all its glory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c18AMlrRaI Naturally, everyone was raving about the man. The new hero of Preston. https://twitter.com/All_Things_PNE/status/820303914318708736 https://twitter.com/SeamusMacAoidh/status/820307480106377217 https://twitter.com/alancaw/status/820305774828081156 https://twitter.com/pmast12/status/820305106641915904 https://twitter.com/Aimms95/status/820305035552636928 https://twitter.com/Irish_Leeds/status/820305073406259204 https://twitter.com/AlanBaldwin1979/status/820304668513292289 https://twitter.com/RyanKavanagh_/status/820304416104280064 https://twitter.com/dunne109/status/820304119009185793 Just another day. The start of something special. https://twitter.com/Kxndaira/status/820304058904784896 And it wasn't like he stopped there. He kept it going, he kept terrorising. And even when Robinson was subbed off, Horgan went nowhere. https://twitter.com/pnefc/status/820308653190291457 Well, not until the 90th minute anyway. And there was a reason for it. https://twitter.com/pnefc/status/820311962995347457
