Mohammed Kudus delivers quick assist on Tottenham debut
Kudus began the game on the bench but was introduced right after halftime as Tottenham rolled out an entirely fresh XI for the second half.
The move proved immediately rewarding.
Barely 10 minutes into his unofficial debut, the 24-year-old served a reminder of his class.
Pouncing on a loose ball in the box after Reading had failed to defend a set piece, he threaded a delightful pass into the path of Luka Vuskovic.
The youngster coolly slotted it home, extending Spurs’ lead with composure beyond his years.

Kudus' assist spurs Tottenham to a routine win against Reading
That goal came shortly after Tottenham had broken the deadlock.
Just four minutes into the second half, Vuskovic turned provider after he nodded Kudus' corner kick into the path of Will Lankhear, who headed the ball into the net for the game’s opener.
With his assist, Kudus didn’t just contribute on the stat sheet.
He also demonstrated his ability to seamlessly link up play and unlock defences, offering a glimpse into the exciting dynamic he brings to Thomas Frank’s system.
Unfortunately, Kudus did not find the back of the net despite his impressive display against Reading.
Nonetheless, his side held on to seal a 2-0 win to kick-start preparations for next season on a winning note.
Promising start to pre-season
Tottenham approached the game with a split-squad strategy, fielding two different line-ups across each half as preparations ramp up ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.
Kudus featured in the second group, and although it was only a pre-season fixture, his brief cameo has already fans buzzing with anticipation, per London World.
It was a confident, calculated performance that hinted at what's to come in a white shirt.

According to the Spurs Express, Kudus created the most chances of any player, providing three in the 45 minutes he featured against Reading.
He will now turn his attention to Spurs' next pre-season assignment, where they will cross swords with Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on Saturday, July 26.
