'Football is not important' - Pochettino sends Gomes best wishes after Everton midfielder suffers serious injury

The Tottenham manager didn't think Heung-min Son deserved to be sent off for his role in the incident, but said that was a secondary concern

Mauricio Pochettino has lent his support to Andre Gomes after the Everton midfielder was stretchered off with a horrific injury in the Toffees’ 1-1 draw with Tottenham.

Gomes was taken off late on following a collision with Serge Aurier, after he had been tripped by Heung-min Son. Both Son and Aurier were visibly distressed by the incident, with the South Korea international controversially sent off by referee Martin Atkinson.
