The ramifications for the weekends game at Tottenham Hotspur’s north London home keep coming. With Mohammed Kudus facing a ban of between three and nine games – depending on who’s opinion you seek – for the sending off, the FA have not left it there but are charging West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur for their players’ part in the handbags at ten paces which culminated in Kudus’ red card.
Football.london confirm that following the ‘fracas’ that both teams have in fact, been charged. The statement from the F.A. reads:
“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 provocative and/or violent way at the same time.”
Both teams have time to consider their reply before a response is submitted: The financial penalties are likely to be mild compared with the potential ban for players: Mohammed Kudus could be missing from now until the end of the year if the maximum punishment is handed out by the FA: He has also been charged with misconduct and will have to answer charges separately from the club.
