Tottenham was slapped and fined.

British public broadcaster 'BBC' reported on the 23rd (Korea time) that Tottenham was fined 20,000 pounds (about 35 million won) for its responsibility for the scuffle against West Ham.

The BBC said Tottenham was fined £20,000 by the Football Association (FA) for failing to control their players in a 4-1 win over West Ham. Tottenham and West Ham have both been accused of failing to control players from behaving in inappropriate, provocative or violent ways. Tottenham admitted the charges and accepted the fine.



Tottenham were able to convey their vocation to the FA, but they seem to have tried to end it with a fine without arguing.

Tottenham defeated West Ham 4-1 in the eighth round of the English Premier League in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 19th.



Son Heung-min, who returned from injury and started, showed off his strong performance by directly participating in three goals, including a netting goal. Son Heung-min arranged his physical strength by replacing Timo Werner in the 25th minute of the second half when the victory became clear.

Tottenham led 4-1 in a dangerous situation in the 41st minute of the second half.



Tottenham defender Mickey van der Pen fell tangle during a ball match with Kudus.

With Panderpen collapsing first, Kudus was seen kicking Panderpen and passing by.

Panderpen immediately got up and protested to Kudus.

Kudus immediately snapped his hand in Panderpen's face with a fit of rage.

Then, players from both teams flocked and began to fight.

When the situation calmed down, the referee gave both Panderpen and Kudus yellow cards.

However, the part that the referee missed was corrected in the video reading room. The referee conducted an on-field review after communicating with the video reading room. In the recorded scene, Kudus was caught hitting Papesar's face in addition to Panderpen.

It was initially believed that only Kudus would be disciplined. The FA also held Tottenham and West Ham clubs accountable for failing to control their players in advance.

The BBC reported 'Cudus will face a three-match political penalty for this exit. He was separately charged with inappropriate behavior that occurred after his exit. A conviction here could result in additional punishment. West Ham and Qudus must submit their responses by Thursday (local time)," it added.
