Mohammed Kudus scored an amazing goal to seal Hammers’ victory and advance to the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
Mohammed Kudus put the cherry on top of a magnificent West Ham display with a breathtaking individual goal, as the Hammers demolished Freiburg 5-0 to advance 5-1 on aggregate into the Europa League quarter-finals.
After trailing 1-0 from the first leg, West Ham produced their most impressive performance of the season, much to the delight of manager David Moyes, who celebrated his 250th match in charge with a memorable victory.
Kudus was the star of the show, scoring twice in the second half to add further shine to the triumph. His first goal, which was West Ham’s fourth of the night, showcased his exceptional skill as he embarked on a mesmerizing run from deep in his own half, effortlessly weaving past a swarm of defenders before calmly slotting the ball into the bottom-right corner.
The tone for the match was set early on when Lucas Paqueta found the back of the net in the ninth minute. The London Stadium erupted with joy when Jarrod Bowen, recently called up to the England squad by Gareth Southgate, scored his first European goal of the season just after the half-hour mark.
Aaron Cresswell, making his mark in European competition, added to West Ham’s dominance with his maiden goal in the tournament, putting the Hammers firmly in control and paving the way for Kudus to showcase his flair.
Overall, it was a night to remember for West Ham and their fans, as they produced a scintillating performance to secure their place in the Europa League quarter-finals.
