Jamie Carragher believes that Tottenham's Son Heung-min shouldn't have been sent off for his challenge on Everton midfielder Andre Gomes during the 1-1 draw at Goodison Park on Sunday.
Former Liverpool defender Carragher felt that Son shouldn't have been dismissed.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher said: 'It’s definitely not a red. If that is a red then every challenge is endangering another player. There was a tackle from Choudhury on Salah – I didn’t think that was a red. Klopp made a thing about it.
'I think in the future of the game, if anyone makes a challenge where the know they can’t win the ball, I think that will be the next step with the game – people might not agree with that – but they will be red card decisions.'
Carragher added that many players are guilty of bad challenges during their careers which can have significant consequences for their opponents.
He said: 'I never criticise when someone does a bad challenge on someone because your own player will do a bad tackle next week. I’ve had a broken leg – I don’t think Lucas Neill meant to break my leg.
'I did a terrible tackle on Nani a few years ago – luckily it didn’t break his leg. There are plenty of players who want to hurt others and we’ve all probably put a bad challenge in ourselves in our careers.
'(Seamus) Coleman had a bad injury after a bad tackle from Neil Taylor, but then he got sent off the other week for a terrible tackle. Over the course of a player’s career it will work both ways.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino added that the incident left Son 'devastated' and also described the red card as 'very unfair' as he felt that the challenge wasn't malicious.
Pochettino told Sky Sports: 'Son is devastated. I was confused during the situation. When you watch it afterwards, it was never a tackle that intended to do harm. It’s just very, very unlucky. To finish with a red card for Son is very unfair.'
Gomes fell awkwardly after Aurier closed in, with Sky Sports only showing replays up to the point of contact due to the severity of the injury.
Players and coaching staff from both teams were left shocked by the incident, with Gomes eventually being stretchered off and 12 minutes being added on at the end of the game.

your all ducking delusional. son slide tackles at full speed from behind and doesnt win the ball. not even close to winning the ball. it is dangerous and he is only attempting to foul gomes, which then results in gomes having a serious injury. son should be banned for as long as gomes is out injured. these kind of challenges from behind have been outlawed for a reason. just because son contact doesnt cause his ankle to fracture, doesnt mean it isnt red. open your eyes. son was trying to foul gomes because he had been elbowed by gomes minutes earlier and VAR didnt give him a red.

but what caused that collision to happen??? did you not comprehend anything i just said?? ofcourse it wasnt the contact feom son that broke his ankle, that doesnt mean he didnt cause the injury. if i push you off a building and you die when you hit the concrete, does that mean im innocent of murder because it was the concrete that actually killed you, not my push??? THINK BEFORE REPLYING LIKE A FOOL
yes, son did cause the injury but he was not deliberate

yes it is. if son didn’t slide tackle from behind. gomes wouldnt be injured. SON IS THE MAIN REASON HE GOT INJURED. how hard is that to understand. sons reaction says it all. he is guilty of a reckless challenge that led to a mans career being potentially over. red card everyday of the week

1. aurier and son tackled gomes BUT auriers caused the injury however they both should be carded son yellow and aurier a red. 2. yeah liverpool are Evertons rivals but we don't wish this kinda thing to happen to any of their players cuz that's not what football is about plus if we did then karma can get us back and one of our players would get injured. 3. son felt sad and so did aurier but son is the one who got the biggest punishment for something he didn't do (watch the match) and aurier got to walk off free. 4. remeber sergio ramos? he hurt salah yet he never got even a yellow and he laughed at salah and you criticising son for showing some emotion for what he's done. son isn't an a$$hole like you or ramos he's paying the price for something he didn't do. var and refs are a joke there's no justice here at all! son is not the one who caused this. brainless fool
so using your logic. i can push someone off a building and not be charged with murder, because the push wasnt the actual thing that killed the person. it was when they hit the concrete from 100m fall that resulted in their death. sons tackle is the same. think about it. just beacause son doesn’t actually break his ankle, he still directly causes the injury through his sliding tackle from behind. the tackle was dangerous, made at full speed with no attempt to play the ball. red everyday of the week kid

your pathetic. for something son didnt do? he slide tackles from behind at full speed with no attempt to win the ball and is only trying to foul gomes. gomes looses balance because of the chalenge and breaks his ankle as a result. RED RED RED RED RED. your delusional kid look up the rules on fifa website for what merits a red card. reckless and dangerous tackles✅✅✅

are you serious? standard response from a scouser. discraceful by son. he was angry because gomes elbowed him in the face minutes earlier. so then he slide tackles him from behind when he clearly has no chance of winning the ball. IM NOT AN EVERTON FAN BUT IVE NEVER BEEN SO ANGRY WATCHING A FOOTBALL GAME. dangerous tackle, sliding from behind at full sprint speed with no attempt to play the ball. and a serious injury has occurred not directly from his contact, but because of his challenge.HE SHOULD BE BANNED FOR THE SAME PERIOD GOMES IS INJURED FOR. im disgusted in caragher and your comment
