Everton star Iliman Ndiaye left the field in tears after he had sustained an injury to Liverpool.
The 24-year-old seemed to hurt his knee after he had accidentally started the ground before he had made contact with the ball.
Ndiaye immediately fell on the ground and doctors rushed into the field to take care of him.
There was a four -minute delay when the attacking midfielder received treatment.
A destroyed Ndiaye hurled off the field and then burst into tears and hid his face in his shirt.
Teammates Idrissa Gueye and Abdoulaye Doucoure, as well as Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk, hurried to comfort him.
Ndiaye was also welcomed by Everton fans as he dived the tunnel.
The Senegalese bait was eventually replaced by Jack Harrison 25 minutes in the Merseyside Derby with the score 1-1.
There was concern about Ndiaye from the TNT Sports Commentary Box, in which Ally McCoist said: “I think Dominik Szoboszlai Ndiaye may have captured and that is what made him out of balance.
“He kicks the floor. He looks like he might just have adjusted his knee.”

Rio Ferdinand was worried and added: “Sometimes you just know the severity of the injury when it is your own body.
“You just hope that the injury is not as bad as it seems at the moment.”
