Joe Cole claims Mohammed Kudus will be 'another weapon for David Moyes'... as West Ham's £38m signing scores in Europa League win over Backa Topola

Former West Ham star Joe Cole has hailed Mohammed Kudus after the summer signing scored his first goal for the club in their 3-1 Europa League win over Backa Topola.

Kudus was handed his first start since joining the Hammers in a £38m summer move from Dutch giants Ajax.

The Ghanaian international played a key role in West Ham's equaliser on the night, after Petar Stanic gave the Serbian visitors a shock lead.

Pressure from Kudus at the back post led to Nemanja Petrovic turning Said Benrahma's cross into his own net in the 66th minute.
