Black Stars forward Mohammed Kudus once again showcased his talent, but his efforts were not enough to secure victory for Tottenham Hotspur in a thrilling 2-2 draw against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park on Tuesday, December 2, 2025.

Kudus shines as Spurs draw with Newcastle
Throughout the match, the Ghanaian attacker, whose style of play has been compared to Moussa Dembele, was one of Tottenham’s standout players, troubling Newcastle’s defence with his pace and creativity during the 87 minutes he was on the field.
His delivery from wide areas was a constant threat, highlighted by the cross that Romero expertly converted.
This marked Kudus’ fifth Premier League assist this season. He now has the joint-most assists (5) in the English top flight, according to the Premier League's official website.
Additionally, he has seven direct goal contributions (five assists and two goals) in 13 outings so far, as cited by Fotmob.
The game itself saw Newcastle take the lead through Bruno Guimarães in the 71st minute, shortly after the midfielder came on for Sandro Tonali.
However, Spurs’ resilience shone through as Romero, the team captain, equalised before Anthony Gordon reclaimed Newcastle's lead in the 86th minute.

Despite the hard-fought battle and nine minutes of stoppage time, neither team managed to break the deadlock again.
For Tottenham, this draw ends a difficult run of three consecutive defeats across all competitions, offering a small but vital boost, as cited by the Daily Mail.

Tottenham target win against Brentford
Looking ahead, Tottenham prepares to welcome Brentford to their home ground in hopes of ending their four-game winless streak.
Having earned just five points from a possible 21 at home this season, the Lilywhites are eager to improve their record, especially against a Brentford side that has lost their last two away fixtures in the Premier League.
Kudus tipped to excel against Brentford
Sports journalist Stephen Zando of Luv FM told YEN.com.gh he expects Kudus to find his rhythm against Brentford:
“After a shaky patch following his explosive start in North London, Kudus is gradually regaining his form. Hopefully, injuries won’t disrupt this progress.
“For Kudus and the Spurs squad, the upcoming match is a vital chance to reverse their fortunes and build momentum as the season moves forward. He has already recorded a goal and an assist in four games against The Bees, and he’ll be hoping to add to those numbers.”
Kudus could work under new manager
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Tottenham may be gearing up for a managerial change, a development that could directly affect Mohammed Kudus.
Jamie Carragher has recommended a former Everton manager, who has revitalised his career recently, as a perfect candidate for Spurs, as pressure continues to build on Thomas Frank.
