Hugo Lloris, Son Heung-Min involved in bust-up during Everton tie

But the match was not short of drama as cameras caught Son and Lloris shouting and pushing each other at half-time of the league meeting.

It took the intervention of team-mates Harry Winks, Moussa Sissoko and Giovani Lo Celso to separate the pair and ultimately calm the situation.

SunSport reports fracas appeared to stem from Son loosing the ball intercepted by Yerry Mina who set up a Richarlison chance.

However, rather than criticise his wards, Jose Mourinho sensationally claimed the bust-up was “beautiful.”

“That’s beautiful. It’s probably a consequence of our meetings and if you want to blame somebody for that it’s me, because I was critical of my boys for not being critical enough of themselves with each other,” Mourinho was quoted saying after the match.

“I asked to be more demanding, to demand more from others, to put their colleagues under pressure, to give everything for every body,” he continued.

Thankfully, the duo seemed to have made up shortly before the second-half though as they were shown hugging in the tunnel.

Lloris was later quoted saying the incident is “just part of football sometimes.”
