Kudus was sent off in the 86th minute of West Ham's defeat to Spurs after a moment of madness saw him end up attacking two Tottenham players.

The Ghana international had fouled Micky Van de Ven following a nasty tackle before going on to shove his face and attack other Spurs players.

He was earlier handed a yellow card but a Video Assistant Referee review ended with Kudus getting a straight red card.

“[Kudus] completely lost his head. I think Van de Ven did well not to react, because he stamped on him a couple of times before, tried to kick the ball at him, stood on him a couple of times, and then he gets a slap in the face," he told TNT Football, as quoted by Pulse.

“Richarlison goes down, somehow, it’s all kicking off. He had to go. It was a complete loss of his head,” he added.
