The duel between Tottenham and Everton for matchday 11 of the Premier League took a backseat on Sunday at Goodison Park, where the chilling ankle injury suffered by André Gomes shocked everyone. One of the most affected by the incident was Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of the 'Spurs'.

The Argentine coach lamented the "bad luck" of the Portuguese player and thanked Seamus Coleman, the captain of the 'Toffees', for his gesture towards the South Korean Son Heung-min, who was blamed for the foul against the Portuguese player prior to the accident.

The severity of André Gomes' injury was such that the company in charge of broadcasting the Premier League matches decided not to offer replays of the incident.

But the reactions of Son, who was sent off and started crying as soon as he saw the Portuguese international's ankle, with his hands on his head, as well as the tears of Everton's coach Marco Silva or Tottenham's Ivorian player Serge Aurier, who started praying, spoke for themselves.

"We are very sorry, it has been truly a tough situation, very unlucky how Gomes fell in the play. The only thing we can do is send him our best wishes, we are devastated by this situation," said Mauricio Pochettino after the match, which ended in a 1-1 draw between both English teams.

"I want to thank the captain, Seamus Coleman," added the Argentine afterwards to highlight the solidarity of the Irish leader, who "entered the dressing room" of Tottenham Hotspur "to console Son" when he was devastated.
