VIDEO: Mohammed Kudus channels inner Lionel Messi with unbelievable solo goal for West Ham in Europa League - minutes before crashing home another stunner

With the Hammers 3-0 up, Kudus collected the ball inside his side's half and went on a Lionel Messi-esque solo run, beating three Freiburg players before smashing it into the net. Moments later, he got a second when he lashed it into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

West Ham trailed 1-0 on aggregate heading into the second leg of the tie against the German side. However, they pulled level in the early stages on Thursday through Lucas Pacqueta, before Jarrod Bowen and Aaron Cresswell gave them a sizeable lead ahead of Kudus' awesome double.

David Moyes' side progress to the quarter-finals of the competition after securing a 5-1 aggregate win. Now, however, they turn their attention to Sunday's Premier League clash against fourth-placed Aston Villa.
