Ally McCoist insisted Mohammed Kudus didn’t should see purple through the London derby regardless of a second of insanity from the midfielder.
Kudus had fired the guests into an early lead on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, earlier than Dejan Kulusevski levelled for Spurs earlier than the interval.
Ange Postecoglou changed James Maddison with Pape Matar Sarr at half-time and the hosts returned revitalised following the restart, with a fast flurry of targets.
Yves Bissouma put Spurs into the lead earlier than their benefit was doubled when Alphonse Areola turned the ball into his personal web, earlier than Son Heung-min accomplished the rout on the hour mark.
Frustrations have been evident amongst West Ham gamers as they tried to pressure their means again into the sport and Kudus lashed out at Micky van de Ven through the closing levels.
Mohammed Kudus was despatched off throughout West Ham’s defeat in opposition to Tottenham on Saturday
The midfielder was initially given a yellow for lashing out at Micky van de Ven earlier than VAR intervened to present him his marching orders
Talking on commentary Ally McCoist insisted the referee’s preliminary choice ought to have stood
The midfielder was initially proven a yellow card after showing to kick the Dutch defender whereas he was difficult for the ball earlier than slapping him through the ensuing melee.
A subsequent VAR assessment finally overruled the referee’s choice and Kudus was give his marching orders, a lot to commentator McCoist’s chagrin.
‘I will be sincere, I am most likely old-school,’ McCoist mentioned on TNT Sports activities. ‘Give him a reserving and let’s get on with the sport.’
After being despatched off for violent conduct, Kudus will doubtless face a three-game ban which is able to come as a big blow for Julen Lopetegui’s aspect.
The 24-year-old has began each Premier League recreation this season for the Hammers, and had opened his account for the marketing campaign with a aim of their 4-1 win over Ipswich earlier this month.
Kudus will now doubtless be unavailable for West Ham’s journey to Previous Trafford subsequent weekend, and subsequent clashes with Nottingham Forest and Everton.
