His link-up with the Brazilian forward not only delivered goals but also gave fans a glimpse of a partnership already brimming with chemistry.
Kudus combines with Richarlison to produce goal-of-the-season contender
The first strike set the tone, but the second was pure theatre.
Picking up a pass from Pedro Porro, Kudus glided past his marker with ease before swinging in a cross of absolute precision.
Richarlison, positioned perfectly, responded with an acrobatic finish that sent the home crowd into raptures.
It was their second successful combination of the evening and, perhaps, an early contender for goal of the season.
Watch the video:
The moment instantly exploded on social media. Supporters flooded X (formerly Twitter) with excitement, struggling to find the right words for what they had just witnessed:
@charlfrim12 hailed:
“Goal of the month. What a volley 🚀”
@FCBpsulax was in awe:
“What a goal.”
@KojoLamarkojo added:
“Ghana boys winning.”
@adams_dailys couldn’t believe his eyes:
“Insane performance.”
@sotir_ went a notch higher with his praise:
“Better than Saka.”
@BobbMilan summed it up:
“Kudus is HIM★”
Kudus glitters on his Premier League debut for Tottenham
For Kudus, the night carried more than just assists.
His two contributions in one game already put him close to last season’s entire tally of three, according to Transfermarkt.
The 25-year-old endured a mixed second season at West Ham, often dazzling with dribbles but criticised for not producing enough in the final third.
That narrative now looks set to change. Wearing Tottenham’s white, Kudus seems eager to silence doubters and prove he can consistently turn flair into results.
The journey has just begun, but if this debut is any indication, Spurs fans may be in for a special season.
