Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus set the internet ablaze with a lovely piece of skill during West Ham United's league opener against Aston Villa at the London Olympic Stadium.

The Hammers suffered defeat in their opening game of the season at home after Jhon Duran scored late to secure all three points for the visitors.

Aston Villa got off to a bright start after summer signing Amadou Onana opened the scoring just four minutes into the match, connecting to a Youri Tielemans assist.

However, the host levelled before half-time through Brazilian midfielder Lucas Paqueta before Duran netted with ten minutes left.

Meanwhile, during the game, Kudus almost made a goal contribution after spotting Tomas Soucek with a clever little piece of skill.

In a video shared on social media, Kudus produced a 'rabona' cross for the Czech forward, who failed to convert from close range.

Only praise I will give West Ham is that Kudus is an absolute menace. He's the only one I'd happily take from their squad.
