Younes Kaboul has apologised to his Tottenham team-mates and Spurs fans for his sending off against Newcastle.
The defender appeared to headbutt Cheik Tiote in the 65th minute after a robust challenge from the Magpies midfielder.
Kaboul told the Spurs website: "I received what I felt was a bad tackle and that's why I reacted the way I did.
"It's not in my nature and I apologise to my team and would like to say sorry to the fans - I hope we will not see that on the pitch (from me) again."
Its a hard decsission by the judge- they were both going close and both putting the test towards... He has just the tiny little push- and thas the red card for him and not even yellow on the other guy???
