Younes Kaboul has issued an apology to the Tottenham Hotspur fans and players after his red card against Newcastle United.
The French defender was shown a straight red card by referee Anthony Taylor for coming head-to-head with Cheik Tiote.
Kaboul told the official site: “I received what I felt was a bad tackle from the player and that’s why I reacted the way I did.
“I know I should not do this and it’s not in my nature.
“I apologise to my team and would like to say sorry to the fans and I hope we will not see that on the pitch again.â€
He added: “We showed very good character. It was a hard game and at half-time it was 0-0.
“We wanted to score early in the second half and take control of the game and that’s what we did. The most important thing was to take the three points.â€
