The English Football Association (FA) on Tuesday charged West Ham United forward, Mohammed Kudus, following his red card against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League over the weekend.
The FA also charged both West Ham and Tottenham for failing to ensure their players did not behave in “an improper and/or provocative way” around the red card incident.
Kudus was sent off after violent conduct in the second half of West Ham United’s Premier League 4-1 defeat to Tottenham.
The Ghanaian international was initially shown a yellow card by referee Andy Madley after appearing to kick out at Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven before pushing the Netherlands international defender in the face.
The 24-year-old then went on to push Tottenham’s Pape Mate Sarr in the face before Video Assistant Referee (VAR) Chris Kavanagh recommended Madley review the incidents on the screen.
Madley went on to upgrade his decision from yellow to a red card.
A violent conduct offence carries with it a minimum suspension of three matches but this charge opens up the possibility of further punishment.
However, the FA announced on Tuesday that Kudus had been charged for allegedly acting “in an improper manner and/or using violent conduct” after he was shown the red card.
This means that all three parties have until Thursday to respond to the charges.
