Mohammed Kudus’ stunning solo goal against Freiburg has been named the 2023/24 UEFA Europa League Goal of the Season.
The announcement came on Wednesday from the official Europa League account on X, where the goal was described as “insane.”
With West Ham leading 3-0, the Ghanaian international began his solo run from inside his team’s half, skillfully evading three Freiburg defenders before scoring with his weaker right foot.
