‘Moment of Absolute Madness’ – West Ham fans told WHY Mohammed Kudus was shown a RED CARD in 4-1 defeat at Tottenham which shows Why Julen Lopetegui was right to say he’s NOT a Team Player

Tottenham Hotspur secured a thrilling 4-1 victory over West Ham United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, with three second-half goals in eight minutes sealing the win.

West Ham struck first through Mohammed Kudus, who opened the scoring in the 11th minute. However, Spurs responded before half-time when Dejan Kulusevski cleverly beat Alphonse Areola at his near post to level the match.

Yves Bissouma, preferred in midfield over Rodrigo Bentancur, gave Spurs the lead in the 52nd minute with a well-taken strike. The home side then shifted into top gear, with Heung-Min Son involved in two quick goals.

Son’s effort deflected off Jean-Clair Todibo for 3-1 after 55 minutes. Moments later, Son latched onto a superb through ball from Pape Matar Sarr, surging into the box and blasting his shot through Areola to make it four.

The match took a controversial turn when Kudus was sent off following a reckless incident. With his side trailing 4-1, the Ghanaian forward lost his temper after being dispossessed by Micky van de Ven on the right wing.

Kudus initially fouled the Spurs defender and, after van de Ven fell to the ground, lashed out again.

Referee Andrew Madley initially showed Kudus a yellow card, but after consulting VAR and reviewing the footage on the pitchside monitor, upgraded it to a straight red.

The victory was a significant statement from Tottenham, who showed resilience after falling behind early and ruthlessly capitalised on West Ham’s defensive lapses. Spurs will hope this performance marks the beginning of a consistent run as they aim to push higher up the Premier League table.
