Son Heung-min’s red card for Andre Gomes challenge overturned
Son Heung-min’s red card against Everton has been overturned by the Football Association.
Son was sent off after a challenge which left Everton midfielder Andre Gomes with a broken and dislocated ankle in Sunday’s 1-1 draw.
However, Spurs appealed against referee Martin Atkinson’s decision and the FA has upheld their claim, meaning he will not serve a three-match ban.
