Preston vs Tottenham LIVE Latest FA Cup fourth round updates
Antonio Conte is expected to make changes for Spurs’ trip to Deepdale

Conte asks Tottenham to bring back last season’s fighting spirit

Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min returned to form with two goals in their 3-0 defeat of second-tier Preston North End in the FA Cup fourth round, with debutant Arnaut Danjuma also on target at Deepdale on Saturday.

South Korean Son has endured a lean season but made the difference with two superb goals after the break as the visitors moved comfortably through to the next round.

Five minutes into the second half the ball was played to Son outside the penalty area and he struck an unstoppable drive low into the corner of the net.

It was only his second goal since mid-October but 19 minutes later he struck again, turning smoothly on the edge of the box and firing past Preston goalkeeper Freddie Woodman.

Apart from a brief spell in between Tottenham‘s goals, Preston rarely troubled the away side who did not even need to bring leading scorer Harry Kane off the bench.

Dutch forward Danjuma, who signed for Spurs on loan from Spanish club Villarreal this week, came off the bench to score his side’s third with a close-range finish late on.

Reaction from Harry Maguire

Manchester United captain, Harry Maguire, spoke to ITV after the game and praised the impact Casemiro has had on the team since joining in the summer.

“We had numerous chances. We spoke at half-time about having patience and we’ll get the first goal.”

“He’s [Casemiro] done what he was brought in to do, He’s a phenomenal player. You don’t win what he’s won without being a top player. He’s improved the team, the morale and the performance.

“I’ve looked after myself. It was two and a half weeks since my last start. I’ve been working hard in training. When I get the opportunity I need to take it. I’m ready when my chance comes.

“I’m 29 and I haven’t really been in this position in my career. I don’t want to get used to it but it’s part and parcel of football.”

Full-time: Man Utd 3-1 Reading

90+4 mins: Manchester United progress through another round of the FA Cup. Goals from Casemiro (2) and Fred were enough to see them past a stout hearted Reading side.

Erik ten Hag’s campaign to bring sliverware back to Old Trafford goes on. His team have now won 11 games in a row at Old Trafford.

Is the Dutchman making them into a force to be reckoned with once again? It seems so.

90 mins: Another short corner for Manchester United comes to Antony who fancies one from range. He drills one at goal from 20 yards but can’t get it through the cluster of shirts and Reading boot the blocked effort away.

Four minutes of added time to play.

84 mins: Malacia is forced to hook the ball out for throw in deep inside his own half. Reading launch it back to Tom McIntyre who feeds a diagonal pass over to the left wing.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka recovers the ball for United who work it quickly into midfield and beat the press. Anthony Elanga sends the ball over to Garnacho on the wing but the youngster runs into trouble.

81 mins: Into the last 10 minutes now and Manchester United look a bit shaky especially in defence. Another goal for Reading will certainly make Old Trafford tense.

For now the home side are controlling the ball well. They work it over to Antony who darts inside from the left and laces a shot well over the crossbar!
