The 23-year-old scored West Ham's second goal following an error from Man United youngster Kobbie Mainoo in the 78th minute. The strike was his 10th goal of the season, and it seems she is starting to catch fire in a West Ham shirt.

After his goal, the winger did his trademark celebration. In his post-match interview, he revealed that the celebration doesn't have a deeper meaning. His goal sealed a massive 2-0 win over the Red Devils, per BBC.

“It doesn’t mean anything,” he revealed. “I’m sitting down to get a deep breath! I’m tired,” via TNT Sports.

Kudus has scored six Premier League goals in 15 appearances and will be looking to score a few more before heading to the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations.

He will hope to score when West Ham visit the Emirates to face title challengers Arsenal.

Kudus named in provisional squad for AFCON

Sports Brief reported that Black Stars coach, Chris Hughton released his 55-man squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast next year. Kudus was also named in Hughton's provisional squad.

Hughton included England-born West Bromwich Albion forward, Brandon Thomas-Asante as well as 11 home-based players in his team.

The team, which will be pruned to 26 men, also sees youngster Forson Amankwah earning his place in Ghana's squad for the first time.

Mohammed Kudus scores brace against Wolves

Earlier, Sports Brief also reported that Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus continued his high-flying start to life in England after scoring a first-half brace to lead West Ham United to victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The 23-year-old scored in quick succession to increase his tally for the Hammers to nine goals as they bounced back from last week's defeat to Fulham.

Kudus was also on target in midweek as West Ham finished top of Group A in the Europa League.
