Son Heung-Min was sent off for the tackle that caused the injury, after the Spurs' forward appearing to trip the Toffees' playmaker and as he stumbled Gomes' ankle appeared to break after colliding with Serge Aurier.

Son, who was visibly distraught from the incident , was initially shown a yellow card before referee Martin Atkinson decided to brandish a straight red.

Similarly, Aurier, who was visibly affected, was substituted by Mauricio Pochettino shortly after and replaced by Juan Foyth.
