After losing Andre Gomes to a serious-looking leg injury, Everton scored an equaliser during 12 minutes of added time against Tottenham.
Match Report
Cenk Tosun headed in a 97th-minute equaliser as Everton rescued a 1-1 draw against Tottenham in a game overshadowed by a serious injury to Andre Gomes.
Despite the absence of Harry Kane through illness, Tottenham appeared set to register their first away win in the Premier League since January thanks to Dele Alli's second-half strike.
However, Mauricio Pochettino's side were unable to hold onto their lead after Son Heung-min was dismissed for a tackle on Gomes that led to the midfielder suffering a severe-looking leg injury.
The South Korea international was visibly shaken following his involvement in the incident, as too was Spurs team-mate Serge Aurier, who Gomes collided with after the initial challenge.
A lengthy stoppage for treatment – following on from two VAR checks for penalty appeals – resulted in 12 additional minutes at Goodison Park, during which Tosun converted Lucas Digne's cross to secure a point.

DAMN!!!!! One of the things we hate the most in football and unfortunately it’s unpredictable like life itself, and it’s injuries.. This looks like a real bad one. Hoping for some sort of good news rather than worst, and I hope u get well sooner than later Gomez. 🙏🏽

Feel sorry for Son, He is called the second most dangerous Korean for nothing. But he means to break the hearts of opposition fans, not legs of opposition players.
