“It was good to score, and the goal came from where I’m most natural, on the right. It’s all about the team though, and I’ll keep learning and improving to adapt to wherever I’m asked to play,” Kudus said via Ghanasoccernet.

Kudus' goal salvages a point for West Ham

Kudus' goal was crucial in earning West Ham a point against Brighton, equalizing after Mats Wieffer’s second-half opener, according to The Guardian.

The Ghanaian’s sharp instincts and clinical finish once again proved his ability to deliver when it mattered most.

However, despite Kudus' memorable celebration capturing attention, it wasn't enough to secure all three points for the Hammers.

The match ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving West Ham winless in their last two games and in 14th place.

Kudus has made 12 appearances in the Premier League so far this season despite serving a five-match ban.
