Cenk Tosun's header eight minutes into stoppage time salvaged a 1-1 draw for Everton against Tottenham in a match overshadowed by a broken ankle suffered by Everton midfielder Andre Gomes.

Spurs' Son Heung-min was shown a straight red card for his foul on the Portuguese international, but the injury occurred as Gomes's momentum saw him crash into Serge Aurier.

"It is a bad moment for us as a group and as a team. It's more than a football game, this is the most important thing right now," said Everton manager Marco Silva. Tottenham led 1-0 at that stage thanks to Dele Alli's strike just after the hour mark.

The injury to Gomes proved a turning point with Son visibly upset even before he was shown a red card.

"He (Son) is devastated and in tears," said Alli. "It's not his fault. Son is one of nicest people you've ever met. He can't even lift his head up, he's crying so much."
"After undergoing hospital tests, it was confirmed he had suffered a fracture dislocation to his right ankle. The club will provide further updates in due course."
"We can only send our best wishes and (we are) devastated for the situation."
"VAR must help the referee, I don't know what is going on and what happens with this tool. Rather than help the referee it is creating more confusion."
