He is now the fifth-highest Premier League scorer for the Hammers with 38 goals.<\/p>\n<p>Eleven of those strikes have come this season, making it the joint-most by a West Ham player before Christmas in a season, alongside John Hartson in 1997\/98.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">And sit. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/A1GqQbqApO\">pic.twitter.com\/A1GqQbqApO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; West Ham United (@WestHam) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WestHam\/status\/1738562937227243927?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 23, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Kudus took advantage of another defensive error to score his 10th goal for the club since joining from Ajax in the summer, just when Manchester United were looking to get back into the game.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s been in excellent form at home this season, having scored nine Premier League goals at home, second only to Mohamed Salah&#8217;s tally of 11 goals, but the Ghanian forward has more non-penalty goals (9) at home than his Egyptian rival (8).<\/p>\n<p>Lucas Paqueta provided the assist for both of West Ham&#8217;s goals, taking his total number of assists in his last two Premier League games to four, which is the same number of assists he recorded in his first 43 matches for them in the competition.<\/p>\n<p>While the Londoners celebrate, it&#8217;s a different story for Manchester United who have now lost 13 matches in all competitions this season.
