Son Breaks Silence After Gomes Leg-Break

Tottenham attacker Son Heung-min has finally broken the silence regarding Sunday’s incident where Everton midfielder Andre Gomes broke his ankle.

The Portugal international had to undergo surgery after breaking his ankle following an initial challenge from Son which saw him collide with Serge Aurier and the aftermath of the collision was a broken ankle for the former Barcelona man.

Son has been low with a couple of his teammates and coach Mauricio Pochetino trying to lift him. On Wednesday he scored two goals for the North London side in a UEFA Champions League match against Red Star Belgrade as Spurs picked a vital 4-0 away win.

“I am really really sorry about the accident and the situation but I have to focus on the team, this is football, I have to respect and keep working hard. I didn’t want to celebrate because I just want to respect the situation.
