Everton are investigating an incident of alleged racist behaviour during their Premier League draw against Tottenham on Sunday.

Cenk Tosun snatched an added-time point for the Toffees to cancel out Dele Alli's opener.

After the match, Everton Fan Services posted that they were looking into allegations of racist behaviour.

An Everton fan was caught on camera making an alleged racist gesture towards Spurs star Heung-min Son after the sickening incident involved Andre Gomes, which saw Son sent off in tears.

"Everton is investigating an alleged incident of racist behaviour by a supporter attending today's fixture against Tottenham," read a statement on Twitter.

"Everton strongly condemns any form of racism. Any such behaviour has no place within our stadium, our Club, our community or our game."

The match was overshadowed by a sickening injury to Toffees midfielder Gomes, who will undergo surgery on a fracture dislocation to his right ankle on Monday after falling awkwardly following a challenge by Tottenham's Son.

Son was sent off having initially been shown a yellow card.

Gomes will undergo surgery on a fracture dislocation to his right ankle on Monday, the club have announced.

"The Portugal international was stretchered from the pitch during the second half of the game and taken straight to Aintree Hospital by ambulance accompanied by members of the Everton medical team. After undergoing hospital tests, it was confirmed he had suffered a fracture dislocation to his right ankle.

"The club will provide further updates in due course."
