Mohammed Kudus was registered his sixth Premier League goal of the season as West Ham United recorded a 2-0 win over Manchester United at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Ghana international, who is bound for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations next month, netted a brace in their previous league match against Wolverhampton Wanderers which ended 3-0 before the Hammers suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to Liverpool in the EFL Cup quarter-finals in midweek.
Keen to make amends against the Red Devils, David Moyes’ side took the lead in the 72nd courtesy of top scorer Jarrod Bowen before Kudus doubled it six minutes later with a brilliant finish after profiting off an error by 18-year-old Anglo-Ghanaian midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.
