Mohammed Kudus clinched the Man of the Match Award for his standout performance against Manchester United as West Ham United secured a 2-0 victory at the London Stadium on Saturday.
The 23-year-old Ghanaian star sealed the win with a decisive second goal, capping off an essential triumph for David Moyes’ side. Despite a goalless first half, West Ham emerged victorious against Erik ten Hag’s Red Devils.
In the 72nd minute, Lucas Paqueta’s precise pass to Jarrod Bowen set the stage for West Ham’s breakthrough, with Bowen successfully beating Andre Onana. Kudus, who has now scored in his last three home games, capitalized on Kobbie Mainoo’s defensive lapse, driving a clinical shot into the bottom corner to secure a 2-0 lead.
In his inaugural Premier League season, Kudus has showcased his prowess with an impressive tally of six goals, making a significant contribution to West Ham’s success. Since his arrival in August, the Ghanaian midfielder’s overall goal count stands at an impressive 10 across all competitions.
This victory propels West Ham into sixth place in the table, leapfrogging ahead of their opponents, as Manchester United slips to eighth place.
