Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus expressed his elation after scoring his inaugural Premier League goal on Sunday, attributing his success to his musician friend Stonebwoy, whom he believes brought him good fortune.
Kudus entered the game as a substitute in the 76th minute and secured a late draw for West Ham against Newcastle United with his goal in the 89th minute, becoming the 17th different Ghanaian international to score in the Premier League.
Kudus revealed that Stonebwoy had actually predicted he would score two goals in the match, and while he only managed to score one, he believed the musician brought luck to the stadium.
“Stonebwoy actually said I would score two goals and I scored one of them so he brought the luck to the stadium today!,” he said.
“It was great to celebrate with our amazing fans. When we were down 2-1 and I was on the bench we could still feel the support and the energy from the fans, so thank you to them for that.
“I think it uplifted the players’ energy a lot. It was a great atmosphere today, everyone gave their best so we take the point we gained from it,”
Kudus is now shifting his focus to international football, as he is expected to feature in Ghana’s upcoming international friendlies against Mexico and the United States on October 14th and 18th, respectively, with both matches taking place in the United States.
