Micky van de Ven makes Mohammed Kudus feelings clear after Tottenham vs West Ham brawl

Micky van de Ven has offered his verdict on the altercation with Mohammed Kudus during Tottenham's 4-1 win against West Ham. .

Kudus had initially given his side the lead at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but his afternoon ended very differently after Spurs scored three times in eight minutes. In the wake of that action, a chaotic brawl ensued which also saw Pape Matar Sarr hit in the face.

The FA have charged both London clubs with Van de Ven now issuing his thoughts on the brawl. "What I can remember is that I had a duel with Kudus and I fell down on the ground and I had the feeling that he kicked too much through on the ball," .

"He tried to kick the ball, but hit me twice, three times. I was obviously a bit mad in this situation and I stood up and I pushed him and then the situation happened from his side.

"He literally punched me in the face as I went down!

"To be honest, I don't know what happened afterwards, I didn't really see what happened afterwards, but that is the situation. The FA said we need to get fined for this. It is not how I think about it. If I think about, it would be a different situation."

Van de Ven was also booked for his role in the incident after he pushed Kudus, with Postecoglou hit by a fresh worry as a result. That caution was his third of the season already which will see him walk a suspension tightrope for the next few months before bookings are wiped after game week 19, which isn't until late-December.
