Ghanaian international Mohammed Kudus has finally broken his Champions League goal drought, scoring his first goal in Europe’s elite competition since 2022. The Tottenham Hotspur forward found the net in Spurs’ 3–0 victory over Slavia Prague on December 9, 2025, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Match Highlights
26th minute: Tottenham took the lead after Slavia defender David Zima scored an own goal.
50th minute: Kudus stepped up to convert a VAR-confirmed penalty, striking confidently down the middle to double Spurs’ advantage.
79th minute: A second penalty sealed the win, with Xavi Simons’ effort rebounding into the net.
The victory ensured Tottenham’s progression in the group stage, with Kudus’ contribution celebrated as a turning point in his European campaign.
This was Kudus’ first Champions League goal since his Ajax days in 2022, ending a three-year drought. He had gone four group-stage matches without scoring this season before breaking the run. The Ghanaian forward now boasts eight goal contributions across all competitions for Spurs in the 2025/26 season.
Kudus joined Tottenham in the summer of 2025 after a successful spell at West Ham United. His Champions League breakthrough marks a milestone in his career and boosts his confidence ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he is expected to play a key role for Ghana’s Black Stars.
