Mohammed Kudus scored West Ham's opening goal against Tottenham but was sent off in a chaotic match that ended in a 4-1 defeat for his team. The Ghanaian midfielder's dismissal followed a series of violent actions, where he kicked out at Micky van de Ven and struck both him and Pape Sarr in the face, leading to a red card after VAR intervention. Initially shown a yellow card, Kudus's actions resulted in a straight red, meaning he will miss the next three fixtures against Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, and Everton. West Ham's loss leaves them struggling in 14th place in the Premier League with just two wins from eight matches this season. The defeat was compounded by a second-half collapse, where Spurs scored three goals in quick succession, turning the match on its head. Kudus's frustrating performance follows a tough international break with the Ghana national team, where they failed to secure a win against Sudan.
