Broken into its simplest form.
Gomes hand makes contact with Sons face, play continues, Son gets angry as there was no foul given (photo you referenced) Son sprints towards the play, has a go at Iwobe, continues sprinting the guy that made contact with his face has the ball, Son lunges in from behind giving Gomes no chance to take evasive action as he can't see him coming, makes contact with the player getting nowhere near the ball, causes Gomes to fall and trap his ankle causing it to break. That's what you ate defending, that's akin to saying, I was driving along hit someone from behind they lost control and hit a tree, I just hit them from behind it was the tree that did the damage.
Tackles like that happen every game, defenders often shoulder barge defenders off the ball, having no intention of playing the ball.
It was a freak accident, he didn't lunge in two footed and break his leg. He clearly felt sorry immediately and couldn't have anticipated aurier coming in tackling gomes.
The conclusion from most neutral fans are it was a freak accident.

He was narked.
He went to take out Gomes.
He was nowhere near the ball.
It was an intentional foul.
The outcome wasn't deliberately intended, but the plain fact is...
His reckless, intentional action has resulted in Everton losing one of our best players possibly till next season while he plays on and the fawning media heap praise on him for coming to terms with his distress.

A challenge that happens multiple times every game.
Did son go in to break his leg. Answer:No
Conclusion by most neutral fans it was a freak accident.

I really cant get my head around people pointing out that Son didn't go in to break his leg so that somehow makes it OK, I'd suggest that 99.99% of all injuries are not intentional by the tackler so therefor should every tackle that results in an injury go un punished, it was a shithouse tackle from behind giving Gomes no chance to take evasive action, Any tackle from behind is putting the player in potential danger, RED card all day.
 
I've tried to stay away from this as I'd be biased towards my favourite player, but the tone from the media has been astonishing, I've never seen a reaction like it in these circumstances

In all my years of watching football It’s something completely new , even when you genuinely think you’ve seen it all you can still be surprised . I’m genuinely staggered by the response and I don’t mean that in an hyperbolic way .

I don’t even want to get into a discussion of the tackle that’s almost ,just almost , irrelevant to this media reaction . If anybody thinks that this would have happened if salah had suffered this injury then they’ve been at the cooking sherry .

Liverpool wouldn't have let this happen, and rightly so, Klopp would have gone ballistic in the post match interview like he did when Salah was tackled from behind and missed 1 game with the injury. Not 1 Liverpool fan would be on any forum feeling sorry for the opposing player, and the media would have been called out very publicly and reminded that the tackler was not the real victim. I really despise Liverpool but there are some things they do get right and having a manager that stands up for their own players and criticizes opposing players is one of them.

oh absolutely they’d have gone berserk about it , about the var decisions about everything and had their friends in the press doing the same .

I also feel maybe it’s a bit distasteful but I suppose Credit to spurs media team because they’ve controlled the narrative and achieved what they're wanted in getting the red rescinded.

If Silva had come out in his post game interview and said something like It was clear that son chased Gomes down and lunged in recklessly from behind, then that would have been looked at by the media and found to be the case and the Red would never have been over turned, but the we all feel sorry for Son because he looked sad was basically what came from our club allowing spurs to do what they did.

I didn’t watch it really , I presume he was rubbish and was a waste if a shirt with that playing in his mind ? I Did see he sent a lovely message go Andre which was nice .
