Mohammed Kudus scored his third goal of the season in West Ham's game against Brighton and Hove Albion at the London Olympic Stadium.

The Ghana international rose high to head home after Brighton's goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen parried Jarrod Bowen's strike into his path.

The visitors had opened the scoring through Matts Wieffer moments after the break.

However, the lead lasted only seven minutes as the former Ajax midfielder levelled for the Hammers.

Kudus has been instrumental for the Hammers, creating and forcing Brighton into making mistakes.

The London club came close early in the game through captain Jarrod Bowen, but Verbruggen denied the English forward.

Brighton also had their chances with Kaoru Mitoma and Joao Pedro with their best opportunities of the half.

The Seagulls dominated before half-time and made it count after the break, following a mistake from Lukasz Fabianski, with Wieffer finishing off.

Seven minutes after taking the lead, West Ham United broke on the left before Bowen fired from outside the box, with Verbruggen punching into the path of Kudus.

Kudus rediscovers form

After a long suspension, the Black Stars attacking midfielder returned to the squad and has been key to the Hammers' recent decent run.

Kudus has scored and assisted in three matches since his return to the team. A situation that delights manager Julen Lopetegui.

Kudus has now netted three goals and delivered an assist in 12 Premier League games, per Transfermarkt.
