The Football Association (FA) has charged Mohammed Kudus after his red card in West Ham’s 4-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Ghana international was sent off for pushing both Pape Matar Sarr and Micky van de Ven in the face during the closing stages of the match on Saturday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Kudus was sent off after pushing Pape Matar Sarr and Micky van de Ven in the face when the match was about to come to an end on Saturday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Kudus is facing at least a three-match suspension, as the FA has confirmed he has been charged with “acting in an improper manner and/or using violent conduct” following the incident.

Tottenham and West Ham have also been charged for not managing their players’ behavior during the match. Kudus and both clubs are required to respond to the FA charges by Thursday.
The incident unfolded when Kudus appeared to kick out at Van de Ven, leading to a melee. After initially being booked, Kudus was sent off after a VAR review, which advised on-field referee Andrew Madley to reassess the situation at the pitchside monitor.
Kudus will be unavailable for important matches against Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, and Everton, putting additional pressure on new West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui, who is already under criticism for a sluggish start to the season.
