Mohammed Kudus scored a potential goal of the season contender with a stunning overhead kick during West Ham United’s 3-1 loss to Manchester City on Sunday. The Ghanaian international delivered an impressive solo performance, standing out despite the Hammers’ defeat on the final day of the Premier League season.
Manchester City, needing a win to secure the championship, started strong with Phil Foden scoring within two minutes. Foden doubled their lead in the 18th minute, putting the Cityzens in control early on.
However, Kudus halved the deficit late in the first half with a spectacular overhead kick. Capitalizing on a poorly cleared corner from James Ward-Prowse, Kudus flicked the ball over his marker before executing the overhead kick that found the back of the net, leaving fans and pundits alike in awe.
Despite Kudus’ brilliant goal, West Ham could not mount a comeback. Rodri sealed the victory for Manchester City with a third goal after the half-time break, extinguishing any hopes for David Moyes’ side.
Fans on social media praised Kudus’ acrobatic strike, many tipping it to win the Premier League Goal of the Season. The 23-year-old has had an exceptional debut season in the English top flight since joining West Ham from Ajax Amsterdam last year.
Kudus has been directly involved in eight goals and six assists in the Premier League, finishing the season with 25 goal contributions across all competitions. His impressive campaign has sparked transfer rumors, with Liverpool reportedly showing interest in acquiring the talented midfielder.
As Kudus continues to make headlines, his spectacular overhead kick against Manchester City will be remembered as one of the standout moments of the season.
