Tottenham, West Ham United and Hammers midfielder Mohammed Kudus have been charged by the Football Association following Saturday’s Premier League match.
Ghana winger Kudus was sent off during his side’s 4-1 defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for kicking Spurs defender Micky van de Ven and pushing both the Dutchman and midfielder Pape Matar Sarr in the face.
But the FA have charged the former Ajax player with violent conduct and acting in an improper manner for an incident “after the offence he was sent off for”.
Additionally, both clubs have been charged with failing to ensure their players “didn’t behave in an improper and/or provocative and/or violent way” at the time of Kudus’ sending off.
Kudus, 24, was initially shown a yellow card for his push on Van de Ven but it was upgraded to a red following a VAR review, which showed referee Andrew Madley the pushes on Van de Ven and Sarr.
Both sets of players gathered around Kudus, who had put West Ham ahead in the game, following the incident.
If found guilty, he could serve an extra punishment on top of the three-game ban he will serve for his violent conduct dismissal.
The three parties have until Thursday to provide their responses.
