Kudus produces sublime assist against Burnley
At first, it looked as though he had lost control of the ball, but a fortunate ricochet sent it back into his path. This time, he picked his spot perfectly.
With a crisp cross floated into the area, Kudus found Richarlison in space.
The Brazilian timed his volley sweetly, smashing the ball past Martin Dubravka to ignite the home crowd.
Watch Kudus' assist:
The assist was more than just a moment of brilliance. It was another sign of a budding partnership between Kudus and Richarlison.
Only days earlier, the pair combined impressively in the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain.
While their display did not yield the desired result as PSG clawed from 2-0 down to clinch victory on penalties, their understanding appears to be growing quickly, something Spurs fans will be eager to see develop further.
For Kudus, the debut felt like the start of a new chapter. His second season at West Ham was patchy, drawing criticism for his inconsistency in front of goal.

Critics often argued that while Mohammed Kudus dazzled with dribbles, his end product left much to be desired.
Now in Tottenham colours, the 25-year-old looks intent on rewriting that story.
He announced himself with an assist in his very first league appearance, the perfect answer to skeptics.
Then, as if to drive the point home, he produced a second moment of brilliance, setting up Richarlison again to put Spurs firmly in control.
Although Kudus didn’t find the net himself, his pair of assists spoke volumes.
They offered Spurs fans a glimpse of the spark that once lit up the Premier League two seasons ago.
According to Sky Sports, Brennan Johnson’s strike sealed a commanding 3-0 win for the Lilywhites, capping off a dream start.
Kudus knows a single game doesn’t define a campaign, but making an early impact certainly lifts the pressure.
If his partnership with Richarlison continues to flourish, Tottenham may have finally discovered the creative force they’ve been missing.
The real test, however, looms large; their next fixture takes them to the Etihad, where Manchester City will provide a sterner challenge, per Flashscore.
Kudus yet to hit Tottenham milestone
In an earlier report, YEN.com.gh highlighted that Mohammed Kudus is yet to hit a major milestone in his Tottenham journey after four pre-season outings.
The 24-year-old Ghanaian has shown flashes of brilliance and impressed with his performances, but a first goal in Spurs colours still eludes him.
