Jamie O’Hara says the referee did something that was a ‘disgrace’ during Tottenham v West Ham

Tottenham hammered West Ham United yesterday but Jamie O’Hara was still left fuming with one of the big talking points from the game.

Spurs were too good for the Hammers over 90 minutes and managed to stick four past Julen Lopetegui’s side to further inc🃏rease the pressure on the Spaniard.

Of course, while some of Tottenham’s attacking play was very easy on the eye, there were also some ♔flashpoints in the game as well.

One of those flash points came when Hammers forward Mohammed Kudus clashed with Tottenham defender Mi💛cky van de Ven, before being shown a red card for his role in the incident.

However, while Kudus deservedly saw red, defender Van🎃 de Ven was also booked despite appearing to do little wrong.

And that decision left Spurs fan and pundit, Jamie O’Hara, fuming.

Taking t🍷o X to vent his frustration at the decision, the opinionated and outspoken O’Hara did not mince h🐭is words.

Indeed, O’Hara labelled the referee a ‘disgrace’ for even bringing𓆉 the Dutch defender into the conversation.

Another weekend of referees being at the centre of problems

While O’Hara often goes off abo♐ut Tottenham and there is a bit of a bias there with some of his comments, he does have a point here.

The decision to show Van de Ven a card was borderline baffling and it means the Spu𝓰rs man has needlessly added a yellow to the list now.

Once again, the Premier League referees are not covering themselves in glory and after incidents with Arsenal and Man City this weekend, ꦅit’s going to be another week of talking points in the media.

For Tottenham, it mattered little in the end. But on another day, this could have been a nightmare situꦡation and affected the game.
