Mohammed Kudus scored in West Ham United’s 1-4 defeat to Tottenham Hotspurs

Mohammed Kudus found the net for West Ham United, but his early strike was not enough to prevent a 1-4 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League

Kudus gave the Hammers the lead at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium just 18 minutes into the first half.

Tottenham continued to press and deservedly pulled level before the break when Dejan Kulusevski’s shot hit both posts before crossing the line.

After the break, Yves Bissouma scored Tottenham’s second goal, and an own goal by Jean-Clair Todibo put them in control with two goals in five minutes. Son Heung-min then added a third to extinguish the visitors’ hopes.

However, West Ham's misery was compounded late on when VAR recommended an on-field review, resulting in Kudus receiving a straight red card for his involvement in an unnecessary altercation involving both teams.
