Preston 0-3 Tottenham LIVE SCORE: Son on the double and Danjuma scores debut goal as Spurs cruise


TOTTENHAM have beaten Preston North End 3-0 in the FA Cup fourth round.

Two goals from Son Heung-min and a late debut strike for Arnaut Danjuma did the damage for the visitors.

Harry Kane has been suffering from illness this week and was kept on the bench with Spurs cruising in that second half.

His wait to become the club’s all-time top scorer will have to wait until next weekend, but at least he’ll have the chance to do it in front of his own fans.

  • Stellini praises Son and Danjuma

    Tottenham assistant Stellini, who does press duties for FA Cup games, was full of praise for the goalscorers.

    “Sonny is a great player – we know. He has to wait for the right moment to find the space. He was very focused on the match. He had to wait for a right time to do a good job.”

    “We’re looking forward to working with Danjuma. It’s a good start for him. He’s a good guy. He needs time to understand.”

  • No Kane no problem

    Tonight was just the fifth time this season that Tottenham have managed to win a game without Harry Kane scoring.

    The other four were Southampton, Bournemouth and Marseille x2.

    Kane has been suffering from illness this week and was kept on the bench with Spurs cruising in that second half.

    His wait to become the club’s all-time top scorer will have to wait until next weekend, but at least he’ll have the chance to do it in front of his own fans.

  • Son thrilled to be back in the goals

    Son was delighted to get back on the scoresheet following a really difficult season up to now.

    It’s always hard in the FA Cup, especially when you play away from home. I think first half we struggled a little bit because they were defending really deep but I’m glad I could help the team and we can now look forward to the next round.

    I needed the goals for my confidence and it was really important. First half I had a couple of chances and the keeper made some good saves, but second half they went in. As a striker, I think you always need goals.”

    But there’s a slightly delay for someone coming onto the pitch.

  • 87. Preston 0-3 Tottenham

    Game, set and match to the visitors.

    And it’s a fine goal.

    Bissouma does brilliantly to skip away from a couple of challenges before he’s fouled and Gil picks up the loose ball.

    He then plays it wide for Kulusevski, who gets into the box and picks out Danjuma to stroke home his first Tottenham goal.

    What a start for the debutant.

    Son is given a standing ovation by the travelling faithful and is also named as man of the match by Alan Shearer for his two goals.

  • 84. Preston 0-2 Tottenham

    Tottenham are pushing for a third, but a couple of shots are blocked and Son isn’t going to get a chance to score his hat-trick.

    That’s because Conte makes his fourth change of the evening as the South Korean is replaced by Gil.

    Preston win a corner but Forster claims it.

    Tottenham are just keeping the ball and running the clock down in the latter stages.

    Son at the double for Tottenham and it’s another peach.

    Tanganga drills a pass into Perisic, who flicks round the corner and into the path of Son.

    And the winger turns his defender beautifully before firing into the top corner.

  • 69. Preston 0-2 Tottenham

    After a long spell of possession, Lenglet crosses over for Perisic, who guides a header towards goal.

    And Woodman doesn’t take any chances, pushing the ball over for a corner.

    After a good Preston response to the goal, Tottenham have control once again and have quietened down the crowd.

  • 62. Preston 0-1 Tottenham

    Preston are continuing to push forward and go close.

    Evans does well to beat three men before the ball falls for Whiteman in a good shooting position, but his curling effort can’t match Son’s and is wide of Forster’s post.

  • 60. Preston 0-1 Tottenham

    Preston win a corner and it gets the crowd up but Brady hits the first man and they’re not happy with that.

  • 50. Preston 0-1 Tottenham

    Tottenham take the lead and it’s all about Son’s individual quality.

    The forward receives a pass from Tanganga around 25 yards out and takes a touch before curling an absolute stunner into the far corner.

    Spurs haven’t been at their best, but they lead at Deepdale.
