Mason Holgate says Everton players were desperate to get a result against Spurs for Andre Gomes.
The Toffees got a 97th-minute equaliser through Cenk Tosun after Dele Alli's opener.
He said: “It's hard to cope with. I have been on the pitch for two, I saw James McCarthy's as well, and both were the same in that everything goes flat.
“You just have to get together and make a stand as a team but the game goes flat and you can feel the whole mood changes.
“'It is hard when something like that happens to get going again but we showed fight and went again.
“But it shows what we are about as a team. We got together and I think it drove us on a bit more once we got going, trying to do it for him.
“It was really flat (in the dressing room). It was like we had been beaten.
“He is all our friend and our team-mate so we are all gutted and wishing him the best.”

You win, you draw, you lose but all that doesn’t matter when something like this happens. I wish I didn’t score, I wish we lost 0-5 and this didn’t happen. I know you will come back stronger bro and we will be there for you ?? @aftgomes21 Kazanırsın, kaybedersin ama böyle bir şey olunca hiçbir şeyin önemi yok. Keşke gol atmasaydım, keşke maçı 0-5 kaybetseydik ama böyle bir olay yaşanmasaydı. Biliyorum daha güçlü döneceksin kardeşim ve bu yolda biz senin daima yanında olacağız ?? @aftgomes21

TOTTENHAM have appealed Son Heung-Min's red card for his leg breaking challenge on Andre Gomes.
The Premier League initially explained the red was for “endangering the safety of a player which happened as a consequence of his initial challenge”.
But Spurs have launched an appeal to the FA, according to the Guardian.
If the appeal is rejected, Son will miss Tottenham's games against Sheffield United, bitter rivals West Ham and Bournemouth.
TOTTENHAM have offered Son Heung-Min counselling to help him deal with his leg breaking challenge on Andre Gomes.
The 27-year-old was left in tears after his tackle on Gomes left the Everton midfielder with a dislocated and fractured ankle during yesterday’s 1-1 draw.
South Korean international Son was sent off over the challenge, despite referee Martin Atkinson initially pulling out the yellow card to book the player.
The ex-Hamburg winger was so distraught that he was unable to pick his head up in the dressing room, as Everton players came in to console him after the full-time whistle.
And according to the Athletic, Son will be given psychological counselling by Spurs who will do all they can to help him.
