Football fans have taken to social media to express their excitement after Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus finally scored his first goal of the season.

The Black Stars midfielder gave the Hammers the lead just before half-time after rising high to head home after an earlier effort from Michail Antonio had hit the crossbar.

West Ham, who have struggled in recent times, started the game in the best way after Antonio opened the scoring just a minute into the match against Ipswich Town.

Kudus ends EPL goal drought

Earlier, Yen.com.gh reported that Mohammed Kudus finally ended his goal-scoring drought in emphatic fashion by finding the back of the net against Ipswich Town in the Premier League.

The Ghanaian playmaker, who had gone six top-flight matches without scoring for West Ham, was under mounting pressure following a lacklustre run that even saw him substituted at halftime in the Hammers’ draw with Brentford.
