Ghanaian midfielder Mohamed Kudus has scored his first Premier League goal of the season.
The Black Stars midfielder played 86 minutes as the Hammers celebrated a comfortable 4-1 win at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
West Ham United wasted no time in the highly anticipated encounter, taking the lead after just a minute of play after Michail Antonio had put them ahead.
But the visitors responded quickly, drawing level through Liam Delap in the sixth minute.
Kudus headed in his team’s second goal of the match to put the hosts ahead just before half-time, a huge relief for the Ghanaian international who has struggled to find rhythm this season.
The home side continued to dominate in the second half, with Jarrod Bowen scoring in the 49th minute to extend their lead.
Brazil international Lucas Paqueta netted in the 69th minute to seal victory for the Hammers in an exciting encounter.
After a successful debut for West Ham United last season, Kudus has recorded a goal and an assist this season.
With his goal drought now over, the Ghanaian midfielder can look forward to maintaining his form throughout the season.
The 24-year-old midfielder will head to the Black Stars’ training camp ahead of next week’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Ghana in a double-header.
The Black Stars will face Sudan at the Accra Sports Stadium on Thursday, October 10, before traveling to Tripoli, Libya for the second leg.
