Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Xavi Simons has tendered an apology after his straight red card against Liverpool in Saturday’s Premier League.
Simons was initially only cautioned by the referee, John Brooks, but that decision was upgraded following a review at the pitchside monitor.
Spurs eventually suffered a 2-1 defeat, a match which also saw Cristian Romero sent off. Fully acknowledging his mistake, Simons via his official social medial handle apologised to everyone at Tottenham and to Van Dijk personally.

“Errors happen. Van Dijk is my captain (for Holland). I would never consciously hurt him or others.
“To my Spurs teammates, my coach and the fans. I take responsibility.
“I’m really sorry.”
Defeat to Liverpool has left Spurs sitting 13th on the Premier League table.
