Mohammed Kudus was shown a red card following a VAR review.
Mohammed Kudus suffered a monumental head loss as he was shown a red card after ‘hitting’ not one but THREE Tottenham players.
Kudus, who gaveΒ West Ham UnitedΒ an early lead, failed to see out Saturday’sΒ Premier LeagueΒ fixture following his dismissal.
The West Ham winger clashed with Micky van de Ven as he appeared to kick out whilst the defender was on the floor.
Van de Ven reacted angrily as Kudus floored his opponent with a strike to the face.
After his tussle with the Dutchman, 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.
The star winger was initially given a yellow card, but it was rightfully upgraded to a straight red card following a VAR review.

Despite Kudus’ early goal, West Ham were unable to get anything from the league encounter, suffering a bruising 4-1 defeat.
Dejan Kulusevski levelled before the break as Spurs completely changed the game on its head in the second-half.
Within an eight-minute period, Yves Bissouma, Alphonse Areola (own-goal) and Son Heung-min all scored.
The defeat against their London rivals leaves the Hammers in 14th place in the table, with eight points on the board.
Julen Lopetegui’s have now lost four of their opening eight league games this season.
To make matters worse for Lopetegui, he will be without Kudus for the next three league games against Manchester United, Nottingham Forest and Everton.
