Lucas Moura has apologised for his rash challenge on Michael Keane that earned him a red card in Tottenham’s draw at Everton.
Spurs conceded a late equaliser on Monday night when defender Keane drilled home a long-range effort in stoppage time, moments after Moura was sent for an early bath.
The substitute winger had only been on the pitch for six minutes when he landed his studs on Keane’s shin in a poor tackle that led to referee David Coote swiftly producing a red card.
Following the 1-1 draw, Moura insisted he didn’t mean to execute his tackle so badly as he apologised to Tottenham’s fans and players.

“There are good days and bad days, today is a bad day for me,” he wrote on social media.
“No one is more frustrated than me! I made a mistake and I accept that. I am not this kind of player and I didn’t mean to do that.
“Sometimes for the sake of milliseconds, something totally different happens than what you planned.
“I want to apologise to my teammates, the staff, the fans and the club. I will keep working hard to help the team as much as I can until my last day at the club.”
