Graham Potter Hails Kudus After Arsenal Match

West Ham manager Graham Potter has lauded Mohammed Kudus for his exceptional performance in their 1-0 victory over Arsenal in the Premier League. The Ghanaian forward played a pivotal role in securing the win, displaying remarkable technical ability, hold-up play, and relentless energy throughout the match.

The breakthrough for West Ham came just before halftime when Jarrod Bowen found the back of the net, scoring his 50th Premier League goal. His strike not only sealed West Ham’s first victory in five matches but also brought Arsenal’s 15-game unbeaten run to an end.

Kudus was at the heart of West Ham’s attacking movements, constantly applying pressure on Arsenal’s defence. His quick dribbling, creativity, and sharp decision-making made him a nightmare for the Gunners. The defining moment of his dominant display occurred in the 73rd minute, when Myles-Lewis Skelly brought him down, resulting in a red card for the Arsenal youngster.

Potter was full of admiration for Kudus’ consistency and commitment, acknowledging his contributions not just in matches but also in training. “He was really good. Every day, he sets an example. In training, he’s been fantastic—his effort and application are top-class,” Potter stated.

He also pointed out that West Ham’s struggles this season have sometimes overshadowed individual brilliance. However, Kudus has continued to shine despite the team’s inconsistencies. “When the team isn’t performing at its best, it can affect how individuals are perceived. But Kudus has been outstanding, and today, he got the reward for his efforts. His performance was fantastic,” he added.

With West Ham sitting just above the relegation zone, the team will be eager to build on this momentum as they prepare for their crucial clash against Leicester City on Thursday.
