Ghana midfielder, Mohammed Kudus, has praised himself for scoring a lovely goal for West Ham in their Carabao Cup win over Arsenal on Wednesday at the London Stadium.
The 23-year-old scored five minutes into the second half to double the lead for the Hammers from a depth Nayef Aguerd pass over the top.
West Ham emerged 3-1 winners to reach the Carabao Cup quarterfinal and will face Liverpool at Anfield.
Re-watching the goal immediately after the game with the Hammers’ media team, the Black Stars midfielder exclaimed, “Wow! What a finish!” in admiration of his goal that received rave reviews from fans and pundits.
“It was a beautiful ball from Nayef so I just had to take the touch inside because there was no space outside.
“When I come inside, it’s a far corner, and then boom! It was a goal.”
David Moyes’ side took the lead 16 minutes into the game when Ben White turned the ball into his net following a corner kick.
Mohammed Kudus then made a very lovely first touch to bring down a lobbed pass from Nayef Aguerd before firing into the left bottom corner of the net in the 50th minute.
Jarrod Bowen then sealed the win with a brilliant goal from distance at the hour mark before Martin Odegaard got Arsenal a consolation in stoppage time.
