Ghana midfielder Mohammed Kudus has lifted the lid on his goal against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League after the strike was voted the club’s goal of the month.
The 22-year-old continued his impressive goal scoring form at Anfield, however it was not enough as Joel Matip’s late header against the Dutch champions gave the Reds their first win in the competition.
Liverpool created plenty of openings and deservedly went ahead when Mohamed Salah swept home Diogo Jota’s pass. Kudus’ searing shot went in off the underside of the bar to level but Matip’s 89th minute header won it.
“It was a collective goal, we played like 25 passes and everyone touched the ball and it was a very nice team goal,” Kudus told Ajax TV after receiving the award.
“It feels good to win the award and it keeps motivating me to keep doing more and keep assisting my team.
“It was special to score at Anfield because the goal brought us on level terms, I was in a different world when the ball went in and you could see from my reaction, a lot of energy and I really wanted to go to our fans to celebrate but they were the other side so it was difficult.
“It could have been a better feeling if the goal gave us a win, I watch the goal every day, it was a hell of a strike.”
Th goal was Kudus’ 5th goal in four matches for Ajax. In total, he has scored eight goals and provided one assist in 13 appearances across all the competitions.
