Tottenham caretaker manager Cristian Stellini agreed with both red cards in their 1-1 draw at Everton.

Michael Keane earned Everton the point with a 90th minute equaliser having given away the penalty converted by Harry Kane earlier. Abdoulaye Doucoure for Everton and Tottenham's Lucas Moura also saw red.

Stellini said: "Both were red cards. The tackle of Lucas was dangerous and [Doucoure's] hand was clearly in the face of Harry. I was very close to the situation and it was a clear red card.

"No (I didn't say anything to Lucas), he was disappointed. For sure he was disappointed. This type of tackle you don't want to be dangerous but it was an unpredictable tackle. The ball was there, you try to take the ball and you find the leg of the player.

'This is a red card because it is dangerous."
