'I wish we lost 0-5 & this not happen' - Teammate's heartfelt message for Gomes

The Toffees striker salvaged his side a point on Sunday but admits he would've preferred a heavy defeat and his teammate avoid injury

Everton attacker Cenk Tosun concedes he would have favoured a 0-5 loss over seeing teammate Andre Gomes suffer a horrific ankle injury against Tottenham.

"You win, you draw, you lose but all that doesn’t matter when something like this happens," Tosun wrote on Instagram.

"I wish I didn’t score, I wish we lost 0-5 and this didn’t happen. I know you will come back stronger bro and we will be there for you."

A number of Everton players struggled to see Gomes in so much pain with Spurs star Son left in tears for the role he played in the incident.

Having attempted to console Gomes after the injury, Tosun revealed the toll it had taken on the Toffees and how much pain Gomes was in.

"Everybody is so sad inside," Tosun said via the Daily Mail. "Some players, they nearly cried.

"Andre was in shock. His eyes were open so big. He was crying, shouting and screaming. I just tried to hold him and speak to him. I tried to tell him to stay calm.

"We couldn't understand him. He was the one who had got the injury."
