Tottenham saw off Preston in the FA Cup fourth round at Deepdale to keep alive their hopes of a first major trophy since 2008. Spurs were up against mid-table Championship opposition away from home under the lights in Lancashire on Saturday night, having squeezed past third-tier Portsmouth in round three courtesy of a stunning goal from Harry Kane.
The England captain was an unused substitute here as he waits for the 267th goal that would see him move clear of Jimmy Greaves as Tottenham’s outright all-time leading scorer, having been battling illness all week since netting the important winner against Fulham in the Premier League on Monday night. New signing Arnaut Danjuma made his debut as a substitute, scoring late on after a terrific double from Heung-min Son.
It was more than enough to book Spurs’ place in round five after a dull first half, with the draw opening up nicely for Antonio Conte’s side. Follow Preston vs Tottenham reaction live below, with expert analysis from Dan Kilpatrick at the ground.
