Mohammed Kudus scoops MoTM Award after scoring debut goal in West Hams 2-2 draw with Newcastle

Mohammed Kudus was named the Man of the Match after scoring in West Ham United's home draw against Newcastle United on Sunday.

The Ghana international was introduced into the game in the second half and scored late in the 89th minute as the Hammers grabbed a 2-2 draw against the Magpies at London Stadium on Sunday.

The former Ajax midfielder was introduced in the 76th minute and made his presence felt after finding the back of the net, one minute to full time to snatch a point for the host.

It was his first goal for West Ham United in the Premier League after switching from Ajax in the summer transfer window.

The goal marks his third in all competitions for West Ham United since joining the club.

West Ham shot into the lead through Tomas Soucek after just 8 minutes as the host went to recess with the advantage.

In a spirited performance, Alexander Isak hit the back of the net in the 57th to cancel out West Ham’s lead before scoring again in the 62nd minute to put his side in front.

Mohammed Kudus will now turn his attention to international duties as Ghana prepares to take on the USA and Mexico in an international friendly games.
