Nevertheless, Kurt Zouma swiftly equalized for West Ham, connecting with a James Ward-Prowse cross to level the score.
With the match finely balanced at 1-1, Kudus delivered a precise cross into the box in the 91st minute, which Tomas Soucek expertly controlled and fired past Jordan Pickford to give West Ham the lead. It was a fitting reward for Kudus' industriousness and creativity throughout the game.
Edson Alvarez, another summer signing from Ajax, sealed the victory for West Ham with a third goal in the closing stages of the match.
This consecutive triumph marks a notable achievement for West Ham in the Premier League, a feat they last accomplished in December. Kudus played a pivotal role in both victories with two assists.
Since his arrival from Ajax, Kudus has been exceptional, contributing six goals and three assists in 21 league appearances. Across all competitions, he has scored 10 goals and provided three assists, establishing himself as one of the most promising young talents in the Premier League.
