Mohammed Kudus’s first goal for West Ham United secured a dramatic 2-2 draw with Newcastle United at London Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Ghanaian ‘Starboy’ rose from the substitutes’ bench to control Vladimír Coufal’s pass and send an unstoppable, bouncing drive past Nick Pope to grab a point for the Club he joined from Ajax in August.
It had appeared West Ham’s inability to hold onto a Premier League lead would cost them again as Newcastle came from a goal down to lead, but, with his pop star friend Stonebwoy watching on, Kudus ensured his new team would grab a share of the spoils and keep themselves above the Magpies in the table.
Tomáš Souček had put the Hammers into the lead inside eight minutes, but two Alexander Isak goals in quick succession either side of the hour mark appeared to turn a potentially impressive victory into a disappointing defeat, before Kudus’s intervention grabbed a satisfying draw.
