In Saturday's intense clash against Newcastle United, West Ham United's Mohammed Kudus achieved a significant milestone in the Premier League, reaching double figures in goal contributions.

Despite his standout performance, West Ham suffered a narrow 4-3 defeat at St. James' Park.

The 23-year-old midfielder showcased his attacking prowess by netting West Ham's second goal of the match, further solidifying his growing tally of goal involvements.

Kudus's goal, just before halftime, provided the Hammers with a crucial lead after Michail Antonio had earlier equalized following Alexander Isak's penalty opener.

Continuing to shine, Kudus demonstrated his versatility by assisting Jarrod Bowen for West Ham's third goal in the 48th minute, further underlining his impact in the team's offensive play.

However, despite West Ham's early dominance, Newcastle United staged a remarkable comeback, with Isak converting another penalty and assisting Harvey Barnes to level the score at 3-3.

In the final moments of the game, Barnes secured the victory for Newcastle with a decisive goal in the 90th minute, stunning the visitors.

Despite the disappointing outcome for West Ham, Kudus's goal and assist marked his 11th goal contribution in the Premier League alone, highlighting his importance to the team and his consistent impact in front of goal throughout the season.

Interestingly, Kudus's inaugural Premier League goal also came against Newcastle United in the reverse fixture, where his goal secured a vital 2-2 draw for West Ham.
