Ghana star Mohammed Kudus put in a strong performance in West Ham's 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage, showcasing his skill and composure on the ball.

Despite still seeking his first goal of the season, Kudus made his presence felt throughout the full 90 minutes.

The 23-year-old was a key player for the Hammers, completing 47 touches with an impressive 95% pass accuracy. His creativity was on display, contributing two key passes and creating one significant chance. Kudus also showed his defensive capabilities, making one interception and one tackle, as well as delivering two successful long balls. He registered a shot off target but remained an active threat in West Ham's attack.

Fulham struck first in the 24th minute when Sasa Lukic's pass found Emile Smith Rowe, who set up Raul Jimenez for a clinical finish.

West Ham responded in added time as Jarrod Bowen's cross met Danny Ings, whose powerful strike leveled the score at 1-1, giving West Ham a hard-earned point.

This match marked Kudus' fourth Premier League appearance of the season, as he continues to establish his role in Julen Lopetuigi's squad. West Ham will now turn their focus to an important clash against Chelsea, where Kudus will aim to keep building on his promising form.
