Ghana’s Mohammed Kudus wins man of the match in West Ham United’s comeback win over Backa Topola
Ghana superstar Mohammed Kudus has been voted man of the match following an impressive performance for West Ham United in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night.
Kudus was handed his first start against Backa Topola and made his presence felt after hitting the back of the net in his outfit's 3-1 win at the London Stadium.
The Black Stars midfielder was in sensational form when his side came from behind to secure victory over the Serbian club.
The visitors opened the scoring, three minutes into the second half through Petar Stanic before the host restored parity from Nemanja Petrovic’s own goal.
Kudus scored in the 70th minute to put West Ham United in the lead before Petar Stanic gave TSC the lead right after recess.
Tomas Soucek sealed victory for the Premier League outfit after hitting the back of the net in the 82nd minute to hand West Ham 3-1 win.
The Black Stars midfielder joined West Ham United in the just-ended summer transfer window in a £38m deal plus add-ons, becoming the second most expensive Ghanaian player.
Since his arrival, the highly-rated player has made three appearances, coming on twice as a substitute and hitting the back of the net once.
