Bittersweet Ending as Kudus Gets Sent Off After Meltdown During Tottenham Hotspur Match

Bittersweet Ending as Kudus Gets Sent Off After Meltdown During Tottenham Hotspur Match
Mohammed Kudus strikes Micky Van de Ven

Mohammed Kudus suffered a monumental head loss as he was shown a red card after 'hitting' not one but three Tottenham players.

Kudus, who gave West Ham United an early lead in the 18th minute after Jared Bowen dazzled his way past Tottenham's Udogie, failed to see out Saturday's Premier League fixture following his dismissal.

The West Ham winger clashed with Micky van de Ven as he appeared to kick out while the defender was on the floor. 

Van de Ven reacted angrily as Kudus floored his opponent with a strike to the face. 

Kudus inadvertently barged into Richarlison, who ran over to the scene of the melee.

Finally, he hit out at Pape Sarr, who stayed on his feet after being struck in the face, with Van de Ven and Richarlison laying stricken on the ground.

With the Ghana international dismissed for violent conduct, he won't be able to feature in the Hammers' next three matches.

And that represents another catastrophic blow for manager Julen Lopetegui, whose side have won just two of their eight Premier League matches this season.
