Adrian Durham made a huge claim- Fans didn’t want to agree

Dave Rowe and Adrian Durham were left aghast by Mohammed Kudus after he celebrated the goal that sent West Ham United 2-1 up.

The Hammers hosted Kieran McKenna’s men at the London Stadium on 5 October and beat the Tractor Boys 4-1.

an interesting opinion! By Adrian Durham
Mohammed Kudus is indeed only talented player, West Ham has no other skilled players contributing to the team’s success.

Kudus bagged the Hammers’ second of the game and deliberately sought out a bench to perform his celebration on after the bust-up he and Julen Lopetegui had last week during the Brentford draw.

Speaking live on talkSPORT (5 October, 15:44pm), commentators Rowe and Durham shared their reactions to Kudus’ celebration.

“He [Kudus] is now sat down on a bench in front of the fans, that’s remarkable,” Rowe first said.

The talkSPORT commentator then revisited the celebration later in the show and said: “It is definitely a Kudus goal.

The celebration is one to watch out for because he was obviously taken off at half-time last week and now he has deliberately sought out a bench and sat on it.

To which Durham replied: ” I don’t know what he’s trying to say there Dave, do you?”
Mohammed Kudus is a West Ham United star

The bust-up between Lopetegui and the Ghana international has been the talk of the town over the last week or so.

The two clashed heads when the Spaniard chose to bench Kudus at half-time during their game against Brentford.

Although the bust-up didn’t cause Lopetegui to drop Kudus as he named an unchanged team v Ipswich, it still feels as if there’s some tension between the two, especially after his celebration.

West Ham had an abysmal start to the term but after their victory against Ipswich, things could finally be on the up for Lopetegui and his men.

Which, in all honesty, has come at the exact right time. The 58-year-olds future has been under severe scrutiny in recent weeks with fans even questioning whether the manager is the right man to lead them forward.

Of course, there’s still plenty of time left in the season for things to change but if they manage to keep up their momentum from the Ipswich game, they should be in safe hands.

Kalvin Phillips was slammed by Gary Breen after his misplaced pass led to Michail Antonio scoring for West Ham United against Ipswich Town.

The Hammers faced the newly-promoted side at the London Stadium on Saturday (5 October) and secured all three points in a 4-1 win.

Julen Lopetegui had the perfect start as Michail Antonio netted the opener with less than a minute on the clock in East London.

The Irons had former loanee Phillips to thank for regaining possession before scoring in a moment Breen described simply as “dreadful” live on Premier Sports (5 October).

Kalvin Phillips slammed for Ipswich Town error v West Ham

It was the dream start for the Spanish head coach, who has come under fire in recent weeks for a string of poor results.

Despite some fans calling for Danny Ings to start, the manager’s faith in Antonio paid off as the Jamaica international won possession before scoring the opener.

This lead didn’t last long before Rory Delap easily got the better of Lucas Paqueta and smashed an effort beyond Alphonse Areola.

It proved to be much of the same from the Irons under Lopetegui who have blown hot and cold in his time with the club so far.

In the end a Mohammed Kudus header combined with strikes from Bowen and Lucas Paqueta were enough to secure a 4-1 win.
