Video: Late Kudus double including goal of the season contender sees West Ham hit five against Freiburg

West Ham cruised through to the quarter-finals of the Europa League, with their win against Freiburg topped off by a late Mo Kudus double which included a goal of the season contender.

The Hammers were already three goals to the good and vastly superior to their opponents in all areas.

Kudus received the ball well inside his own half and just took off, running directly at his opponents with his blistering pace leaving them all in his wake.

It’s a run that was reminiscent of Diego Maradona in his pomp, and when Kudus slid the ball home, it raised the roof of the London Stadium.

Just for good measure he added another a few minutes later which completed a 5-0 rout for the Hammers.
