Everton and Tottenham Hotspur both saw claims for penalties waved away in the 3-2 win for the Blues at Goodison Park on Sunday. Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has shared his view on the controversial moments.

A first-half onslaught from the Toffees was enough for the home side to take three points. Goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Iliman Ndiaye and an own goal from Archie Gray gave Everton a 3-0 lead at the half-time break, before Spurs responded with two strikes late on.

The match was packed with talking points, including a couple of big penalty shouts in the first half.

Son Heung-min and Jarrad Branthwaite tangled in the box for one of those moments, with the Spurs forward adamant he should've been awarded a penalty. However, the decision was waved away.

Speaking on Ref Watch on Sky Sports, Gallagher suggested that Son had been unfortunate.

"It's clumsy and he doesn't get the ball," he said. "The interesting thing is the referee immediately signals 'no' and the reason VAR doesn't get involved is because Son comes across him.

"If he doesn't do that, they may recommend a review. We saw it earlier in the season with Calvert-Lewin and Dan Burn."

Another moment sparked anger from James Tarkowski in the first half, as he was seemingly dragged to the ground by Spurs defender Radu Dragusin.

Gallagher was less convinced by this appeal though. "I think the referee sees them both at it and waves it away immediately," he said. "If you see there, they are locked. He thinks 'I'm not going to take sides' and in the end [Dragusin] drags him down."

Gallagher's co-hosts on the programme former England international Stephen Warnock and Sue Smith disagreed with the assessment though.

"You are going to be locked at some point," said Warnock. "But it's then where it leads to. Tarkowski knows he's lost his man and Dragusin also knows he's lost him. He's got to drag him down - I thought that was a penalty."

"We get caught up in it being both players because they are jostling for position. But then if you lose your man you cannot just go 'get to the floor' and say 'it's both of us'."

Smith continued: "I agree, I think initially you have the contact between the two players and then it's sustained. That was a long period of time for him to have hold of Tarkowski."
