Yeah didn't even look like we got a VAR check. Unless there was a quick check and they didn't want to show us the replays.

Son should have been booked for his dive early on anyway
Absolutely horrible to happen
Wasn't a red card for Son, just looks a completely unfortunately collision with Aurier
Awful for Gomes, horrific.
That said, that’s yet more inept refereeing. Yellow card challenge, seemed the damage was all done by the second Spurs player.

It wasn’t Son it was Aurier and it was due to real misfortune as Gomes had no control having already been fouled and Aurier was already making his tackle based on calculations made before Gomes was fouled.Son what have you done?!?
No way is that a red card.
Seeing the replay, it’s definitely not a red card worthy challenge.
Considering he should have had a yellow for diving anyhow should still be off. No room in England for cheats
That red will get rescinded I think. Had to send him off to keep the peace and Son couldn’t carry on anyway.
Win it for Son now!
You can't give a straight red for that. It's not like Son intended for him to fly through the air and collide with Aurier
I meant more people on here! Not surprised the players on the pitch acted like that mate.
Exactly, it was a run of the mill challenge from Son, just a freak injury
That's not even close to being a red card. The refs have completely fecked it again.
It was his foot getting planted that did the damage. The tackle looked pretty innocuous. Wish Gomes a speedy recovery, it looked awful.
Football is cruel man. That was an awful injury.
Has to be at least 20 minutes added time here.
No way is that a red card by the way.
Not for the faint hearted

Should VAR really be used for important decisions like that though? Seems more appropriate to use it to figure out if somebody's chin hair is offside.
Moot point though. Son wasn't staying on.
If it happened during a normal tackle during the game, then its a different matter.
Son went looking to foul him... and got it wrong. He gets little sympathy from me. It wasnt a footballing tackle. It was getting one back.
And VAR
Yeah I don’t think it was red after seeing it again. Definite yellow when you jump in from behind at pace though. A slow motion replay makes it look less of a bad tackle.
That's what I meant last week when I said every tackle with your feet is much more dangerous than Guendouzi's rugby tackle which some people wanted a red card for. Which is ludicrous.
It wasn’t an horrific tackle, nothing like. Never a red. Feel for Gomez but you’re reaction is miles off.
Vile game.
Because of Gomez' injury. Should probably have made that clear.
Oh calm the feck down. Clearly wasn't his fault at all and nothing malicious. It was the way he landed
That is a fair point
Why did I click, why?
feck, that's horrible for the guy. A very very good player just making his mark in the PL and this thing happens. I wish him a speedy recovery.
Harsh imo. It's a horrible outcome but you see worse tackles like that a few times a game. Son is as far from a malicious player as you're likely to get.
If a foul causes a player to break their leg then that's a red card all day long in my book. If Son doesn't foul him Andre Gomes isn't on his way to hospital, deserves a red.
VAR which gives a clear replay of it not being a red. So all to do with the refs incompetence of refusing to properly use a fantastic tool.
Nasty injury that one. Was actually Aurier that did the damage not Son.
Wish Gomes a speedy recovery. Never nice to see those type of injuries.

What did Son think would happen when he dived in from behind? He obviously can’t expect the injury but did he think the tackle couldn’t potentially injure him? Maybe he’ll think twice next time.
Breaks can happen in any way, you can break your leg falling down a single step.
Not watching but I'm gutted for Gomes. I like him as a player and he seems a top guy, too
The Rugby tackle deserved a red (in my opinion) just because it was such a ridiculous and cheating way to stop a counter-attack, not because it was dangerous.
