Mohammed Kudus (white jersey) tormented Lewis-Skelly (red jersey) during the game
Ghanaian attacker Mohammed Kudus put up an incredible performance during Tottenham Hotspur’s 1-0 victory over Arsenal in a preseason friendly game on July 31, 2025.
The former West Ham United player operated on both wings and was a constant threat to the Gunners’ defense with his footballing exploits.
One of the iconic moments in the game was when Kudus dribbled past Arsenal defender Lewis-Skelly, forcing a foul from his opponent, as the referee blew the whistle for an infringement.
The ex-Ajax Amsterdam playmaker consistently tormented the Arsenal defense with his brilliant take-ons and created chances in the game.
Aside from his offensive skill, he dropped deep to help the defense and track his opponents to win balls, which played a crucial role in the team’s triumph.
Spurs defeated Arsenal in the first North London Derby outside the United Kingdom with a 1-0 scoreline.
Pape Matar Sarr’s excellent long-range chip caught goalkeeper David Raya off guard and found the back of the net after Lewis-Skelly lost the ball in midfield.
The game, which was played in Hong Kong, saw a stadium-record crowd of 49,975 in attendance.
Kudus is expected to maintain his performance going into the 2025/2026 season after making the move from West Ham.
