Ghanaian midfielder, Mohammed Kudus came off the bench to score a late equaliser as West Ham United shared the spoils with Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday.

The former Ajax midfielder, who started in the Europa League game in midweek, replaced Tomas Soucek with 15 minutes remaining as the Hammers trailed 2-1 at the Olympic Stadium.

In a video shared on social media, Kudus received a pass from Vladimir Coaufal from the right before firing it past Newcastle goalkeeper, Nick Pope.

It was the Black Stars midfielder's first goal for the Hammers in the EPL since joining the club in the summer transfer window from the Dutch giants.

The highly entertaining game saw Soucek open the scoring for West Ham after eight minutes. The visitors responded after the break with two quick-fire goals from Alexander Isak.

With the Magpies heading for another victory after their European masterclass against Paris Saint-Germain, Kudus scored in the 88th minute, as reported by The Guardian.

Meanwhile, Kudus scored his first goal for West Ham in his first start for the club as they came from a goal down to beat Backa Topola in their Europa League group opener.

The Ghanaian international, who had joined the Hammers during the summer transfer window, had to wait until his third game for the club to open his goal-scoring account.

Kudus gave the Europa Conference League winners the lead in the second half against Topola after heading home a sterling effort from a James Ward-Prowse corner kick.
