Mohammed Kudus scored two goals - including a stunning solo strike - as West Ham United smashed Freiburg 5-0 in London on Thursday to progress to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League.

The Hammers had lost 1-0 to Freiburg in the first leg in Germany last week but goals from Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen and Aaron Cresswell turned the tie around.

Kudus then found the net in the 77th minute and again eight minutes later to wrap up a remarkable victory.

The Ghana international's first goal of the night was one of the best ever witnessed at the London Stadium.

Kudus collected the ball midway inside his own half before dribbling with it for more than 70 yards and then slotting a clean low shot past the keeper.

After all that running, Kudus needed a rest. So he celebrated by borrowing a plastic stool from one of the stadium stewards before sitting down in front of his adoring fans.

Highlights: West Ham 5-0 Freiburg (5-1 on aggregate)
