Ghana and Ajax midfielder Kudus Mohammed continued his rich vein of form in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night as he scored a goal and provided an assist in his side's 3-1 win over Rangers. The Ghanaian set up teammate Steven Berghuis just inside four minutes for the opening goal before scoring the second goal himself in the 29th minute. Kudus started the move before ghosting into the Ranger's box and was given the time and space to switch from his favourite left foot onto his weaker right before shooting into the net as it deflected off a Rangers defender. He connected with a Steven Bergwijn cross in the 57th minute but a marginal offside call by VAR disallowed the goal as the toe was offside. The home side pulled one back from the spot after Alfredo Morelos missed an open goal after robbing Ajax goalie Pasveer of the ball. Rabbi Mantondo was deemed to have been fouled by Edson Alvarez in the box and a penalty was awarded to Rangers which James Tavernier converted to make it 2-1. Portuguese youngster Francisco Conceição added the third goal for Ajax with a fine curler to make it 3-1. Kudus played the entire duration of the game in his usual false nine role but his side drops into the UEFA Europa League. The Ghanaian has four goals and two assists in the UEFA Champions League this season. VIDEO BELOW:
