The Beeb are saying it's a leg injury? Did I miss something? Cant imagine the players would've been crying over a broken leg?

His foot/ankle was facing the wrong way

It’s a shite tackle though, slide challenge from behind is cowardly as you the opposing player can’t get out of the way of it and stuff like this can happen.

Pointless him continuing anyway, he was in no fit state.

He’s a nasty man

Everton get a late equaliser - we're back to up 9th

[TheMexicanHorse]

“that point was for Andre Gomes”

Speechless

Make the most of it.

Just seen it on Twitter - it’s horrific. As LLCOOLSTEVE described.

[Joooe]

I reckon most Everton fans only actually go to Goodison Park each week to boo the ref.

[bodger]

Son looked unlucky to be sent off, was it a VAR red? if so then i must be wrong. Poor game and a point each about right.

Don’t believe so. Atkinson showing again how bad he is.

No it wasn’t VAR. The ref was swayed by the extent of the injury. He should’ve waited and been led by VAR. Poor refereeing but i guess he reacted to the horror he saw the in front of him.

Hopefully it’s rescinded.
Very clear it was a nothing challenge. Certainly no intent to hurt .

The ref’s been crap in the last few games, how that wasn’t a handball from dele alli is beyond me. I thought if your body wasn’t in a natural silhouette and the ball touches your arm in the box it’s a penalty to get attacking side

Don’t wish to watch it in slow mo, but at the time I thought the injury might also have occurred from the collision with the second Spurs player who he then collided with.

I didn’t think it was a red card challenge...sometimes in sport people get horrible injuries and it’s not always someone’s fault.

That said, had I been Son, I would have asked to be subbed off anyway. I’d feel too distracted/upset to play on after being involved in that incident.

Why are people giving the ref grief over both decisions?

He didn’t see the handball as the Everton players head blocked his view BUT var didn’t overturn it so not the refs fault.
He gave Son a red cause what followed was a result of his tackle and VAR didn’t overturn it as classed it as endangering an opponent.

Whilst the red is harsh, the ref was fully backed up by VAR not changing it.

[I H8 CWEED]

Definite penalty (handball). Never a red card

Cause he originally had a yellow out for Son and was wayed by emotion and changed it to a red after seeing the injury - despite it being caused by Aurier
