However, Tottenham, a former UEFA Champions League finalist, mounted a strong comeback to secure a commanding victory.
With this goal, Kudus has now tallied 10 Premier League goals, equaling the record set by legendary Ghanaian forward Asamoah Gyan during his time at Sunderland, per TV3 Ghana.
Kudus matches Gyan's Premier League feat
Gyan’s brief but impactful stint in the English topflight is remembered for his goalscoring prowess during the 2010-2011 season with Sunderland.
The Ghanaian striker joined the Black Cats for a then club-record fee of £13 million from French side Rennes.
Gyan made an immediate impact, scoring 10 goals in 34 league appearances, helping Sunderland secure a mid-table finish.
Despite his promising start, Gyan's time in the EPL was short-lived, as he moved to UAE’s Al Ain the following season on a lucrative deal.
Kudus sent off in West Ham defeat
Meanwhile, Kudus was red-carded in the Premier League game between West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspurs after shoving off Micky Van de Ven.
The Ghana international fouled the Tottenham defender before he later had an altercation with him.
He was handed a yellow card before a Video Assistant Review led to a red card. Kudus was also involved in a spat with Senegal and Tottenham midfielder Pape Matar Sarr.
