Mohammed Kudus experienced a frustrating day during West Ham’s heavy loss to Tottenham, where he was sent off despite scoring an early goal. The midfielder’s red card came after an incident where he raised his hand and caught both Micky van de Ven and Pape Sarr in the face. Initially handed a yellow card, VAR reviewed the incident and upgraded it to a red, resulting in Kudus being ruled out of West Ham’s next three games.
The match had started on a promising note for Kudus, who netted a well-taken goal to give West Ham an early lead in the London derby. However, Tottenham equalized just before halftime, and the game quickly unraveled for the Hammers in the second half. A flurry of goals in an eight-minute spell, including strikes from Yves Bissouma and Son Heung-Min, as well as an own goal, sealed a 4-1 win for Spurs.
Kudus, clearly frustrated by Tottenham’s dominance, lashed out in the 79th minute, resulting in his first red card in the Premier League. His dismissal capped off a difficult week, following his earlier apology to Ghanaians after the Black Stars’ loss to Sudan, which severely damaged Ghana’s chances of qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Despite his recent challenges, Kudus has been in strong form, with two goals in his last two matches for West Ham. However, the red card means he will now miss crucial fixtures against Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, and Everton, leaving a temporary void in West Ham’s midfield.
