Premier League legend Ian Wright singled out Mohammed Kudus for praise after a ‘fantastic’ display from the Ghana international during West Ham United’s 2-1 comeback victory over Burnley on Saturday.  As Vincent Kompany’s side found out the hard way, simply deploying four markers on Mohammed Kudus and hoping that is enough to keep him quiet is a rather flawed plan.  Even with almost half of the Burnley team closing him down, the Ghana international made wriggling through a forest of Clarets legs look as easy as taking a breath, a superb solo run preceding a cross which forced Dara O ..read more
