Tottenham player ratings vs Preston: Son Heung-min a class above with dream Arnaut Danjuma debut
Tottenham secured their place in the FA Cup fifth round with a comfortable 3-0 victory against Preston North End on Saturday evening. Two goals from Son Heung-min and a debut goal for Arnaut Danjuma off the bench saw Antonio Conte's side progress into the next round.
Here are the football.london player ratings from the match.
Ivan Perisic
Playing through the centre, he struggled at times in the first half to provide the hold-up play a natural front man would. He improved though and after forcing the keeper into a save from Lenglet's cross, he then played a deft flick into Son for Spurs' and the South Korean's second goal. 7
Son Heung-min
Almost caught out Preston keeper Woodman with a curling early shot and looked to be Spurs' main threat in the first half. Five minutes into the second period he showed that he was with a wonderful dipping effort past the goalkeeper. He doubled his tally with a smart turn and shot in the hosts' box. He was a level above everyone on the pitch and hopefully this proves to be his restart. 9
Arnaut Danjuma
A dream debut with a low finish to complete Spurs' journey into the fifth round. Played through the centre and was a very mobile threat to Preston. 7

Lucas Moura return date confirmed as Tottenham star to play against Arsenal Under-21s
Tottenham have confirmed that Lucas Moura will return to action for the Under-21s in their Premier League 2 fixture against Arsenal on Friday evening. The Brazilian has endured a nightmare season through injury, featuring in only 11 games for Spurs since August.
His absence due to a tendon issue has impacted Antonio Conte's plans at times as fellow attackers Son Heung-min, Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison have all spent lengthy spells on the sidelines. Amid question marks over his exact return date given he last featured for the team in November, the club have revealed that he will take to the pitch at Boreham Wood this evening.
