Kudus Reflects on Impactful Goal in West Ham’s Draw Against Brighton
Mohammed Kudus made his mark for West Ham United in their hard-fought 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion at the London Olympic Stadium. The match saw an early second-half breakthrough from Brighton when Mats Wieffer capitalized on a partial clearance by West Ham’s goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski to put the visitors ahead.
However, just seven minutes later, West Ham responded. Jarrod Bowen surged forward and unleashed a shot, which Brighton’s goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen parried. Kudus, always alert to the situation, was in the perfect spot to head in the rebound, drawing the game level.
In a post-match interview, Kudus shared his satisfaction in contributing to the result, expressing that scoring brings him confidence. “As an attacker, it’s always good to score, and it will really help my confidence,” he said. Although he wished for a victory, he remained positive about the outcome.
Looking ahead, Kudus and his teammates will face Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium on December 26, where they will aim to secure all three points.
