Everton captain Seamus Coleman consoled Heung-min Son in the Tottenham dressing room after the South Korean was sent off in an incident which left Andre Gomes with a serious leg injury.
Gomes sustained the injury after colliding with Totteham full-back Serge Aurier in the aftermath of a late challenge from Son.
The Tottenham forward was visibly upset in the immediate aftermath of the incident, clearly aware of the severity of Gomes’ injury.
He was shown a red card by referee Martin Atkinson, a decision that has come under scrutiny.
Dele Alli spoke of how Son was crying in the changing room at full time, while Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino revealed that the Everton skipper tried to comfort Son after the game.
Coleman was sidelined for a year after suffering a similarly-horrific double-fracture of his lower leg in March 2017, making his compassion towards Son even more heartfelt.
"The players from Everton were fantastic,” said Pochettino. “The captain came to the dressing room to console Son.
"I want to say thank you to the players and Coleman, who came in on behalf of the squad of Everton."
