Son Heung-min welcomed his return to goalscoring form after hitting a brace in Tottenham s FA Cup victory at Preston North End.
A second-half double in Saturday s 3-0 victory brought an end to a barren run for Son, who had scored just once in 13 appearances.

Back amongst the goals, Son feels the result can provide a boost ahead of next Sunday s league showdown against Manchester City.
