Mohammed Kudus has shared his excitement after he scored his debut goal for West Ham in the comeback win against Backa Topola in the Europa League.
The Ghana international headed home from a James Ward-Prowse corner to give the Hammers a second-half lead moments after forcing an own goal from Nemanja Petrovic.
Kudus was handed his first start on Thursday night and lasted the entire duration of the 3-1 win at the London Olympic Stadium.
The 23-year-old insists there is more to come as he reflected on his maiden goal for the club.
"On the first goal, I don’t know if it’s mine but the ball touched me a little bit, then I just turned and the ball was in the goal," he said in a post-match interview.

Kudus has now made three appearances for the Hammers since joining in the summer transfer window from Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam.
West Ham travel to Anfield on Sunday in the English Premier League, as reported by ESPN.
"The support was incredible from the fans. Even when we were down they kept motivating the team and supporting us. It means a lot to me and I’ll keep doing my best like you saw today for the team. That’s what I’m here to do," added Kudus.
Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Kudus scored his first West Ham United goal in his first start for the club as the Hammers came from a goal down to beat Backa Topola in their Europa League group opener.
