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.
