Ghana international, Mohammed Kudus has emerged as the first player in Europe's top 5 leagues to complete 100 take-ons this season.

The 23-year-old achieved this success during West Ham United's home game against Liverpool on Saturday afternoon.

Following his two successful dribbles against Jurgen Klopp's side in the first half, Kudus emerged as the first player in Europe's top 5 leagues with 100 completed dribbles this season. The game however ended 2-2 at the London Stadium. Jarrod Bowen opened the scoring just before the break when he rose highest to meet Mohammed Kudus' cross.

But the visitors were much improved in the second half and Andy Robertson equalised when he scored from Luis Diaz's low pass into the penalty area.

They were then rewarded for their pressure when Cody Gakpo's effort from a corner ricocheted off Angelo Ogbonna, Tomas Soucek and Alphonse Areola before finding the back of the net.

It looked like they were on their way to bouncing back from back-to-back defeats in the league until Antonio's thumping header put the Hammers back on level terms.

Kudus, who joined the Hammers from Ajax has made 42 appearances in all competitions and has scored 13 goals and five assists to his credit.

Mohammed Kudus and his side will hope to return to winning ways when they travel to play Chelsea next week on Sunday at Stamford Bridge.
