Fa Cup: Spurs eventually cruise past Preston

Preston 0 - 3 Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs were up for the cup

Two excellent strikes by Son Heung-min and a debut goal for Arnaut Danjuma were enough to beat Preston and send Tottenham through in the FA Cup.

The away side were frustrated by their Championship opponents until the 50th minute when Son let fly from 30 yards.

The South Korea international then turned and finished smartly to double the lead amid torrential rain.

Danjuma, signed on loan from Villarreal this week, completed the scoring after coming on as a late substitute.

Reaction

Greg, a Spurs fan from Halifax, said: "A good win to improve confidence."

This was a view supported by Amy. She added: "Nice and easy in the end."

Tottenham forward Son Heung-min, told BBC One: “I needed those goals for my confidence. It was really important. It was the kind of position I like to shoot. In the first half I had a couple of chances to shoot but the keeper made a good save.

“As a striker or as an attacking player, the important thing is that you get that goal. It’s important that I could help the team go to the next round. I’m very, very happy.

 One Preston fan tweeted: "The lads in white give 10 out of 10, they outplayed Spurs for most of the 90 minutes, spurs who only won by three very lucky goals there the second goal was offside, the North end lads can hold there heads high and proud."
