Mohammed Kudus immediately made an impression during his Premier League debut for Tottenham Hotspur, contributing two assists in their victory over Burnley on the first day.
The Ghanaian midfielder, who joined Tottenham this summer, helped Thomas Frank’s team start the season strongly. He looked confident and quick.
Kudus quickly shown why Tottenham was so keen to get him after being placed in an advanced position on the right flank. Halfway through the first half, he deftly picked up Richarlison’s run, who tucked home to open the score, giving him his first assist.
In the second half, Kudus again found Richarlison in the 18-yard box with a right-footed cross, repeating his first set-up to provide the second assist.
The Brazilian doubled the advantage for the home team with an acrobatic finish.
The home crowd loudly applauded the 24-year-old’s enthusiasm, inventiveness, and directness, and they will be inspired by his easy transition to the team.
Brennan Johnson arrived just as the game appeared to be headed for just the two goals, but he added another to make Tottenham’s lead 3-0.
Kudus’s debut scarcely could have gone better. With their new acquisition already making an impact, Spurs had a spectacular start to the season.
