Ghana U-20 midfielder Mohammed Kudus was on target for FC Nordsjælland in their 2-1 home defeat to Esbjerg in the Danish Superliga on Sunday.

The 18 year old broke the deadlock in the 38th minute after combining beautifully with Ulrik Yttergard to hand ‘The Wild Tigers’ the advantage.

The goal was Kudus’ second in the league this term.

The lead was short-lived as Yuri Yakovenko pulled the visitors level four minutes later before Carlo Holse scored a 59th minute bullet header to give Esbjerg a 2-1 victory.

Kudus has made 19 league appearances this season involving 12 starts.
