In the 77th minute of a 1-1 draw against Everton and Tottenham in the Premier League, the atmosphere at Goodison Park changed after Everton's Andre Gomez was injured.
After a fierce clash with Spurs striker Hyung Min-sun, Gomez appeared to have broken his foot, while Sun was given a straight red card, and Gomez left the pitch on a stretcher, replacing Gilvi Sigurdsson.
The striker reacted after being sent off and out of the stadium with tears and sorrow after being shocked by Gomez's severe injury. This reaction brought great sympathy to him on social media, although he was the one who caused the mistake.
