Muhamed Kudus put West Ham 3-1 up away at St James' Park to everyone's surprise and he had a particular celebration in mind.

The Ghanaian forward recently borrowed the chair of a West Ham ballboy during a conference league tie and simply sat down looking at his fans adoring him.

Kudus was clearly looking to do the same again as he approached a young Newcastle ball boy, but the Geordie was having none of it.

With a cheeky cup of his ear, the ball boy had made his message clear, quickly forcing Kudus to go with his team mates as the ball boy awkwardly stared on.

After incidents like Eden Hazard's in 2013 with a Swansea ball boy, Kudus knew better than to linger and push too much to take the boy's chair.

The Karma has since come to Kudus as Newcastle turned it around to lead 4-3, giving the ball boy the best seat in the house to watch his side come back.
