Oct 23,2024

Tottenham, West Ham and Mohammed Kudus have all been charged with misconduct following a stormy conclusion to Saturday's Premier League clash.

Hammers forward Kudus, who had opened the scoring at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, was sent off four minutes from time after an ugly melee in which Micky van de Ven and substitute Pape Matar Sarr were both allegedly pushed in the face.

An FA spokesperson said: "Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Mohammed Kudus have been charged following their Premier League match on Saturday, 19 October.

"Tottenham Hotspur allegedly failed to ensure that their players didn’t behave in an improper and/or provocative way around the 82nd minute.

"West Ham United allegedly failed to ensure that their players didn’t behave in an improper and/or provocative and/or violent way at the same time.

"Mohammed Kudus allegedly acted in an improper manner and/or used violent conduct after the offence that he was sent off for.

"Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Mohammed Kudus have until Thursday, 24 October to provide their responses."

The visitors led through Kudus’ 18th-minute opener, but eventually lost 4-1 as Dejan Kulusevski, Yves Bissouma and Son Heung-min struck either side of keeper Alphonse Areola’s own goal before the game erupted into controversy.
