Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank could not hide his admiration for Mohammed Kudus after the Ghanaian star inspired Spurs to a hard-fought 2–2 comeback draw against Brighton & Hove Albion in Saturday’s Premier League clash at the Amex Stadium.
Brighton struck early through Yankuba Minteh in the 8th minute and doubled their lead when Yasin Ayari converted on the half-hour mark. But Kudus spearheaded Spurs’ response with a tireless, all-action performance.
The 25-year-old winger first delivered a teasing ball that Brazilian forward Richarlison redirected into the net just before halftime. Then, in the dying moments, another of Kudus’ dangerous crosses forced an own goal from Jan Paul van Hecke, ensuring Tottenham left the south coast with a valuable point.
Frank lauded the Ghanaian’s complete display:
> “His work ethic is immense. The counter-pressing, high pressure, defensive side—he never stops. When the ball goes to him, it just sticks. You can’t take it off him. And his one-on-one ability is crazy. He’s so strong, so explosive—he dominated the right-hand side,” the Spurs boss said post-match.
Though still chasing his first official goal for Tottenham, Kudus now has three Premier League goal contributions, quickly establishing himself as a key figure in North London.
