Ghana international Mohammed Kudus has been handed an additional two-game ban for his conduct in West Ham United's game against Tottenham Hotspur.

Kudus kicked and slapped Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven before putting his hands in the face of Pape Matar Sarr in a breakdown towards the end of his side's 4-1 loss.

Andrew Madley initially showed Kudus a yellow card, but the VAR urged a review, and the midfielder was handed a straight red.

The 24-year-old, who opened the scoring for West Ham in the London derby, will now serve an additional two-game suspension and pay a £60,000 fine on top of his initial three-game ban after the Football Association's review.

His three-game suspension was supposed to expire after the Hammers' encounter against Everton this weekend, but he will now also miss games against Newcastle and Arsenal following the international break. West Ham were also fined £30,000 for failing to control their players.

A statement from the FA read: “West Ham United and Mohammed Kudus have been sanctioned in relation to incidents during their Premier League fixture against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday 19 October.

“It was alleged that the club failed to ensure their players didn’t behave in an improper and/or provocative and/or violent way around the 82nd minute. West Ham United admitted to this charge, and an independent Regulatory Commission subsequently fined the club £30,000.

“It was also alleged that Mohammed Kudus acted in an improper manner and/or used violent conduct after the offence that he was sent off for. The forward admitted to this charge, and he has been given a two-match suspension and £60,000 fine by the Regulatory Commission.”

Kudus is expected to return to the West Ham team for their away game against Leicester City on December 3.
