Ghana international, Mohammed Kudus marked his return from suspension on Tuesday night during West Ham United’s 3-1 defeat to Leicester City in the English Premier League.
Despite putting in a commendable performance, the Black Stars forward could not prevent his side from succumbing to a disappointing loss.
Kudus, sidelined for five matches following a red card against Tottenham Hotspur in October, made his much-anticipated comeback in the Week 14 clash. Starting for the Hammers, the 24-year-old showcased glimpses of his quality, earning a solid rating of 7.6 for his 79-minute display.
Leicester City, under the guidance of new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, dominated the match to secure a resounding 3-1 victory.
Jamie Vardy opened the scoring in the first half, while second-half strikes from Bilal El Khannouss and Patson Daka sealed the win.
Kudus and West Ham struggled to break down a well-organized Leicester defense, with the visiting team’s lone goal coming late in the game.
Kudus’ return adds a crucial option to West Ham’s attack as they look to recover from a recent slump in form. Having completed his suspension, the Ghanaian forward will be eager to regain full fitness and contribute more significantly to the Hammers’ campaign.
