Kudus (L) assisted Richarlison (R) twice against Burnley
Mohammed Kudus announced his arrival at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in style, producing a dazzling Premier League debut performance that inspired Tottenham Hotspur to a 3-0 victory over Burnley in north London, on Saturday, August 16, 2025.
The Ghanaian midfielder, who only days ago featured in Spurs’ Super Cup final defeat to PSG, showed flashes of his quality in that game.

But against Burnley, Kudus shifted into full gear, dictating play and delivering two assists that left the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium buzzing.
His first moment of magic came when he whipped in a precise cross for Richarlison to volley home, opening Thomas Frank’s account as Spurs manager.
If the first assist showcased his vision, the second underlined his flair. Another well-measured Kudus delivery found Richarlison again, and the Brazilian responded with an acrobatic volley that is already being hailed as an early contender for Goal of the Season.
As the crowd was still reliving that moment, Brennan Johnson capped off the afternoon, latching onto a slick Tottenham move and chipping delicately over Martin Dubravka to make it 3-0.
But the spotlight belonged to Kudus. His energy, creativity, and decisive contributions gave Spurs a cutting edge they had lacked in the season opener, and his link-up with Richarlison hinted at a partnership that could define Tottenham’s new era under Frank.
For Spurs fans, it was more than just three points, it was a glimpse of what their new signing can bring: drive, brilliance, and a touch of magic.
