Continuation of the 4th round of the FA Cup this Saturday in England with the meeting between Preston, 11th in the Championship, and Tottenham, 5th in the Premier League. A duel a priori unbalanced on paper. And yet, the locals were not intimidated by their upper-echelon counterparts. In the first period, despite a possession of 72% to the advantage of the Spurs, only one real chance was to be counted. The work of Heung-Min Son but his shot was well stopped by the doorman of Preston, Freddy Woodman (25th).
The Korean Tottenham striker was once again in charge after returning from the locker room. While Preston’s defensive block seemed well in place to resist the onslaught of Spurs, Heung-Min Son came to deceive the entire opposing rearguard with a heavy long shot to find the fault and unlock the game (50th, 1- 0). Despite the opener, Tottenham continued to play high. His even scored twice (69th, 2-0) and Arnaut Danjuma completed the victory for Tottenham (87th, 3-0). The Spurs are therefore qualified for the rest of the competition.
