Tottenham, West Ham and Mohammed Kudus face FA charges after London derby

Tottenham, West Ham United and Hammers midfielder Mohammed Kudus have been charged by the Football Association after Saturday's Premier League game.

Ghanaian winger Kudus was sent off during his side's 4-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for kicking Spurs defender Micky van de Ven and shoving both the Dutchman and midfielder Pape Matar Sarr in the face.

But the FA have charged the former Ajax player with violent behavior and inappropriate behavior over an incident “following the offense for which he was sent off”.

In addition, both clubs were accused of failing to ensure that their players “did not behave in an inappropriate and/or provocative and/or violent manner” at the time of Kudus' dismissal.

The 24-year-old Kudus was initially shown a yellow card for his advance on Van de Ven, but this was upgraded to red following a VAR review which showed referee Andrew Madley the advances on Van de Ven and Sarr.

After the incident, both groups of players gathered around Kudus, who had given West Ham the lead in the game.

If found guilty, he could face additional punishment on top of the three-game suspension he is serving for his ejection for violent behavior.

The three parties have until Thursday to submit their answers.
