Son Heung-min was “devastated” following his tackle that left Everton’s Andre Gomes with a horrific leg injury during Tottenham’s 1-1 draw at Goodison Park on Sunday, according to Dele Alli.
The incident occurred in the 77th minute at Goodison Park with the visitors leading 1-0, and resulted in a red card for the South Korean as horrified players were visibly shaken by the extent of Gomes’ injury.
Son went in with a lunging tackle on the midfielder as he sought to win back the ball, but failed to make contact with the ball as his opponent went down in pain.
Alli Sky Sports: “I didn’t want to look too much at what happened [to Gomes]. All I can do is send him my best wishes and wish him a quick recovery.
“Son is devastated, he’s in tears but it’s not his fault. He’s one of the nicest people you would want to meet and he’s not like that.
"He can’t even lift his head up he’s crying that much in the dressing room.”
