JORDAN RHODES hit his second hat trick in as many games to fire Town to a fourth League I win in succession.

The in-form frontman pounced on a slip by Preston keeper Iain Turner in the fourth minute, then headed home in the 42nd.

He took his haul to 13 in five games (two for Scotland Under 21s) with his third, slotted home in the 57th minute.

Preston pulled one back through Juvhel Tsoumou.
