Mohammed Kudus had a mixed day on the pitch during the London derby, where he scored his second goal of the season for West Ham United but was later sent off in a 4-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. The Ghana Black Stars captain gave West Ham an early lead with a clinical finish, raising hopes for the Hammers. However, things quickly unraveled for the team and Kudus.

In the second half, Tottenham took control of the game, scoring four unanswered goals. Kudus’ frustration was evident, and it reached a boiling point when, during a confrontation, he raised his hand and caught both Micky van de Ven and Pape Matar Sarr in the face. Initially shown a yellow card, VAR stepped in and upgraded it to a red, marking the end of his afternoon.
Kudus’ sending off means he will miss West Ham’s next three games, a significant blow for the club as they look to bounce back from this heavy defeat. This incident also capped off a difficult week for the midfielder, who had just returned from a disappointing international break with the Ghana national team.
While Kudus’ brilliance was on display with his goal, the day will likely be remembered for the frustration that followed and his premature exit. For the Hammers, the loss to Tottenham was a bitter pill to swallow, and the absence of their star midfielder in the coming games will only add to their challenges.
