Tottenham handed FA charge after Mohammed Kudus fracas vs West Ham

Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United have both been handed an FA charge for what happened at the end of the Premier League clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.

Spurs won the game 4-1, coming from behind to take all three points in the London derby, but what happened at the end of the match was the big talking point. Mohammed Kudus was sent off - following a VAR review, and a melee between both sets of players broke out.

Kudus fouled Spurs defender Micky van de Ven before appearing to kcik him while he was on the ground. The Spurs man was incensed and got up, pushing the Hammers frontman, who then struck van de Ven in the face.

In the melee that ensued, Kudus was then spotted on camera hitting Pape Matar Sarr in the face. that led to the VAR getting involved and suggesting the referee upgraded his inital yellow card to a red for the West Ham man.

Both teams have now been charged for the fracas at the end of the contest. A statement read: "Tottenham Hotspur allegedly failed to ensure that their players didn't behave in an improper and/or provocative way around the 82nd minute.

"West Ham united allegedly failed to ensure that their players didn't behave in an improper and/or prvocative and/or violent way at the same time."

Both teams will have time to respond to the charge before a decision is made by the FA. Kudus had opened the scoring in N17 before goals from Dejan Kulusevski, Yves Bissouma, an own goal and Son Heung-min turned the match on its head in favour of Spurs.
