Abdoulaye Doucoure was sent off in Everton's Monday evening encounter with Tottenham after thrusting his hand into the face of Harry Kane.
The Toffees midfielder was shown a straight red card for striking Kane in the face as the Spurs captain theatrically hit the Goodison Park turf.
The incident occurred just over 10 minutes into the second-half with the scoreline level as Everton attempted to secure a victory that would see them climb out of the Premier League relegation zone.
Players raced to the scene in-front of the dugout as chaos ensured while Everton manager Sean Dyche held onto Doucoure and tried to downplay his midfielder's hot-headed moment.
