West Ham winger Mohammed Kudus has been banned for two additional games after his red card at Tottenham last month.
Kudus’ foul on Micky van de Ven in the 82nd minute of a 4-1 defeat sparked a melee between the two sets of players, with the Dutch defender claiming the winger “punched him in the face”.
Pape Matar Sarr was also shoved in the face by Kudus.
The player was initially shown a yellow card by referee Andy Madley but this was later upgraded to a red for violent conduct following a VAR check, earning the player an automatic three-match ban.
He was later hit with another violent conduct charge by the Football Association, which has now handed down the additional sanction.

Kudus has already missed games with Manchester United and Nottingham Forest due to the initial ban, which concludes this weekend as his team-mates take on Everton.
The further suspension rules him out of a trip to Newcastle on Monday November 25 and a home game against Arsenal on Saturday November 30, both of which are live on Sky Sports.
