Mohammed Kudus named Player of the Match in Tottenham win over Crystal Palace

Ghana international Mohammed Kudus was named Player of the Match after inspiring Tottenham Hotspur to a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.

The 26-year-old played a decisive role in the win, setting up Tottenham's opening goal with a well-delivered corner that was headed home by Archie Gray inside the penalty area.

Kudus was a constant threat on the right flank, using his pace and dribbling ability to trouble the Palace defence throughout the encounter.

He completed five dribbles, won four fouls and created three chances as Tottenham secured their third consecutive Premier League victory.

Spurs also benefited from Crystal Palace being reduced to 10 men following Jean-Philippe Mateta's early red card, allowing the hosts to take control of proceedings.

Kudus will now be hoping to maintain his place in the starting line-up when Tottenham travel to face Leeds United on Saturday, with kick-off scheduled for 12:30 GMT.

The former Ajax and West Ham United midfielder is also expected to return to the Black Stars squad for their upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying doubleheader against Somalia later this month.

He missed Ghana's campaign at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.
