Tottenham were also charged for failing to control their players due to their actions in the 82nd minute.
Kudus was given a straight red card for violent conduct after kicking Van de Ven and slapping Pape Matar Sarr.

Tottenham found the equalizer through Dejan Kulusevski with an assist from James Maddison.
After the break, Yves Bissouma gave Tottenham the lead by connecting to a pass from Italian fullback Destiny Udogie.
An own goal from Alphonse Areola and a goal from Son completed the trouncing for West Ham.
Meanwhile, former Premier League referee Mike Dean believes that Kudus could suffer further match bans for the scuffle.
Former Premier League referee Mike Dean commented:
“When you look at the footage, he could have been sent off for the first incident alone.”
Dean further suggested that the FA could extend Kudus’ suspension.
