Ghana international Mohammed Kudus underlined his explosive pace by recording the joint-fastest sprint in the Premier League this season during Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace.
The 25-year-old clocked an incredible 36.2 km/h during a surging run against Crystal Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell, matching the fastest speed recorded in England’s top flight this campaign.
Kudus shares the top spot with Harvey Barnes, while Bradley Barcola and Mathys Tel complete the top four fastest players recorded this season.
Fastest Premier League speeds this season:
- 🥇 Mohammed Kudus (Tottenham Hotspur) – 36.2 km/h
- 🥇 Harvey Barnes – 36.2 km/h
- 🥈 Bradley Barcola – 35.9 km/h
- 🥉 Mathys Tel – 35.7 km/h
Kudus’ remarkable speed was just one aspect of another outstanding performance for Spurs. The Ghanaian winger provided the assist for Tottenham’s opening goal with a perfectly delivered corner that was headed home by Archie Gray.
Operating on the right flank, Kudus caused constant problems for Crystal Palace with his direct running, close control and creativity. He completed several successful dribbles, created multiple chances and was unfortunate not to add his name to the scoresheet after going close on several occasions.
His influential display earned him the Player of the Match award as Tottenham secured a third consecutive Premier League victory to continue their impressive run of form under Roberto De Zerbi.
After overcoming fitness setbacks earlier in the campaign, Kudus appears to be rediscovering his best form, with his pace, power and attacking quality making him one of Spurs’ most dangerous players.
The latest statistics further highlight the Black Stars talisman’s elite athleticism, with his top speed reinforcing his reputation as one of the quickest and most explosive attackers in the Premier League.
