Mohammed Kudus impressed on his competitive debut as Tottenham beat Burnley 3-0 in their Premier League opener.
The winger picked up two assists for Richarlison, who enjoyed a stunning display at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Brennnan Johnson’s second-half goal capped off a perfect opening display for Spurs, with fans blown away by Kudus’ competitive debut.
There will be points to improve on for Thomas Frank; however, after Tottenham conceded twice as many shots as they took in the first half.
Mark Schwarzer calls on Mohammed Kudus to add consistency
Spurs signed Kudus from West Ham last month in a deal worth around £55million, with the 24-year-old signing a six-year deal at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

And the Ghanaian looked to settle in immediately in Lilywhite, providing an assist on his friendly debut against Reading.
Kudus enjoyed a strong start to life in the Premier League upon his arrival at West Ham in 2023, but struggled at times last season.
The midfielder ended the season with just five goals and three assists in the league, and was often accused of going missing when his team were struggling.
Former Chelsea and Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer has challenged Kudus to disprove that narrative.
Speaking to BBC Sport on 16 August, the Australian said: “I think Mohammed Kudus could be a really good acquisition. We saw sometimes at West Ham he was a little ill-disciplined, loses his head a little bit.
“No doubting his ability on the ball – he’s got pace and energy, loves to take players on.
“He just needs to be more consistent at Tottenham, and there is more responsibility on his shoulders now that Son Heung-min has gone.”
Mohammed Kudus gets off to perfect start at Tottenham
Kudus is expected to provide much of the threat out wide for Tottenham this season, with left-winger Johnson often preferring to drift into the box.
And against Burnley, that threat was portrayed perfectly, with the Clarets struggling to cope with the wingers movement.
Kudus may well have registered more than two assists on the day, creating five chances and providing five accurate crosses.
The Ghanaian also won two free-kicks and completed two successful dribbles, on what was a perfect start to Kudus’ time at Spurs.
With Tottenham are looking to sign another attacking midfielder following the injury to James Maddison, that threat can only be expected to become more prominent with additional support.
