However, before even being shown the card, Son was already distraught at what had occurred.  Dele Alli, speaking on the incident post-game, said: "Son is devastated and in tears. 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."  A number of players from both sides were also noticeably upset, including Toffees right-back Djibril Sidibe, who was also in tears. Aurier was substituted shortly after by Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino.  England 'keeper Jordan Pickford and Everton sub Cenk Tosun attempted to comfort Son.  The Premier League released a statement post-game, explaining why Son's initial yellow card was upgraded.  They declared: "The red card for Son was for endangering the safety of a player which happened as a consequence of his initial challenge."  Toffees boss Marco Silva said on Gomes: "He went to the hospital. Our medical staff are taking control of everything.  "We need to wait until we hear more information. It is a bad moment of us as a group. We will give all the support of him for as a group we need to continue.  "I didn't see the moment live. I didn't see anything more."  Gomes' midfield teammate Fabian Delph added: "We feel just as you can imagine. It’s difficult time for us.  "He is one of our brothers, someone we care about. It is difficult to put into words how we feel.  "As soon as we could
