Kudus’ goal was shortlisted alongside nine others by UEFA's Technical Observer Panel and has now come out tops following a fan vote.
The Ghana international scored an impressive goal when West Ham United hosted Freiburg in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals.
The 23-year-old received the ball in his own half and carried it all the way through the opposition half, dribbling past all before him to calmly slot the ball home.
