Everton fans fumed at Tottenham winger Son Heung-min after he was sent off during his side’s 2-0 defeat to Chelsea on Sunday.
The Toffees were not involved in this match. However, the irritation spanned from the South Korean’s tackle on Portuguese midfielder Andre Gomes after he seriously injured his ankle, only for his red card to be rescinded days later.
Son was shown a red card after VAR confirmed that he had kicked out at Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger. After careful deliberation at Stockley Park, the decision was made to dismiss him from the field.
The incident meant that it was his third red card inside 2019, which is more than any other player in the Premier League.
Supporters were outraged by what they saw during the affair and made their feelings clear on social media.
One fan said that he was a “great actor” and that VAR had found him guilty as charged. While another supporter suggested that his “fake tears” will no longer work with referees.
Here you will find some of the best comments from Everton fans:
