Ghana international Mohammed Kudus opened his scoring account for the season in West Ham United's win over Ipswich Town.
The midfielder scored the second goal of the game at the London Stadium as the Hammers came from behind to claim a 4-1 win.
West Ham took the lead in the game in the first minute through Michail Antonio taking advantage of Jarrod Bowen's pass.
However, Ipswich levelled the score five minutes later as Liam Delap got onto the scoresheet.
Kudus first came into the game in the 38th minute as he saw his header come off the post following a cross from Leif Davis.
There was no denying Kudus just before the halftime break. The Ghanaian pounced on a rebound after Antonio's effort to head into the net and restore Julen Lopetegui's side's lead.
Took a while but Mohammed Kudus has the chair again!

West Ham went into the break with a 2-1 lead.
Bowen scored four minutes after the return from recess to make it 3-1 before Lucan Paqueta also scored in the 69th minute to wrap up the win.
The win is West Ham's second of the 2024/25 season as they moved to the 12th position.
For Kudus, the goal was his first of the season after struggling to find the back of the net in all competitions prior to Saturday's game.
His goal also means the player has been involved in 22 goals for the club since joining them.
The 23-year-old will hope to build on his opener after the international break.
