Llorente appeals to the referee after the late incident while Andy Carroll squares up
Five players were cautioned by referee Michael Oliver in stoppage time.
West Ham's Andy Carroll, Winston Reid and Andre Ayew were shown yellow cards, while Eric Dier and Fernando Llorente were booked for Spurs.
The incident which prompted the charge came after a foul by Carroll which drew angry reactions from both sides and saw four players booked. Ayew's caution for a foul came earlier in stoppage time.
The visitors were under pressure after being reduced to 10 men with 20 minutes remaining when Serge Aurier received a second yellow card.
Javier Hernandez had reduced the Hammers' deficit to two goals five minutes earlier and Cheikhou Kouyate's goal three minutes from time gave the hosts hope of a point which never came.
