The Spurs star restored parity for his club in the first half after Mohammed Kudus handed West Ham the lead at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Kulusevski now has 17 English top-flight goals, the same number of strikes as Sweden legend Ibrahimovic managed to score during his two-season-long stay at Old Trafford between 2016 and 2018.
Only four players have scored more goals than Kulusevski and Ibrahimovic in the list of highest-scoring Swedish players in the Premier League. Arsenal legend Freddie Ljungberg occupies the top spot with 48 goals to his name followed by Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak who has netted 31 goals to date. Sebastian Larsson and Johan Elmander are the third and fourth-highest scorers, respectively.
After an evenly poised first half, the second 45 minutes saw the hosts dominating as they added three more goals to their tally before the hour mark. Yves Bissouma handed his team the lead while Jean-Clair Todibo’s own goal and Heung-min Son’s strike made it four for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
The Lilywhites will aim to hold on to their lead and secure all three points from the clash. They will be next seen in action on Thursday against AZ Alkmaar in a Europa League clash.
