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.
