Tottenham extended their flawless start to the 2025/26 season with a commanding 2-0 victory over Manchester City, where Mohammed Kudus delivered a standout performance.
The £55m signing from West Ham proved instrumental for Thomas Frank’s side, using his close control and fearless runs to push Spurs forward against Pep Guardiola’s men.

Kudus’ display at the Etihad was so impressive that some Tottenham fans even drew comparisons to club legend Heung-min Son.
The Black Stars playmaker impressed in possession, completing 14 of his 17 passes for an 82% success rate and delivering a dangerous cross from the wing.
Against a side like Manchester City, he provided exactly what Thomas Frank would want from his forward, ticking every box in a performance that will have greatly pleased his manager.
Kudus’ efficiency in possession stood out as well. He completed 14 of his 17 attempted passes, an 82% success rate, and even delivered a teasing cross that had City scrambling, according to Sofascore.
His performance did not go unnoticed as the English media shared rave reviews about the Ghanaian international.
Tottenham Fans Hail Mohammed Kudus
After the match, Tottenham fans full of praise for the former West Ham star following his dazzling display against Pep Guardiola’s side.
One fan admitted they had not been this excited about a new signing since Heung-min Son’s arrival from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, while another was left stunned by the Ghanaian’s performance.
A post on X (formerly Twitter) read:
“I actually can’t believe how good Kudus is, haven’t been moved by a new player like this for years.”
The second Tottenham fan added:
“Haven’t felt like this watching a new signing since Sonny.”
Son scored 173 goals in 454 appearances for Spurs, captaining the north Londoners to the UEFA Europa League in his final competitive outing, so it speaks volumes that Kudus is already earning comparisons to a cult hero in N17.
A third Tottenham fan simply used the word “obscene” to describe what they were seeing from the Ghanaian.
Another highlighted the many impressive aspects of the 25-year-old’s game, posting:
“Can hold up play in a low block and get past players with ease when we’re high up. He’s literally the DREAM.”
Furthermore, a fifth Spurs supporter opted to praise the man born in Accra for his work off the ball, writing:
“Kudus out of possession does exactly what fans want to see. Never gives up, anticipates the play superbly and isn’t afraid to throw himself around when needed.”
