WHAT HAPPENED?
Kudus, who broke the deadlock early in the game, had to leave the pitch in the 86th minute as he completely lost his cool while his team were trailing 4-1. The Ghanian got involved in a violent clash with Tottenham players as he kicked Micky van de Ven, knocked Richarlison over with his elbow and then palmed both Van de Ven and Pape Sarr in the face. The referee initially cautioned him with a yellow card but he upgraded it to a red after a VAR check.
