“We made a little tweak at half-time, so that I would take the first corner on that side, and it came off with Tomáš scoring, so it was great to see us make the most of those opportunities and get over the line when it mattered.”
Three points on home turf brought an end to a two-game losing streak for the Irons, while lifting them up to 18 points in the Premier League standings - just six off the top seven.
While Bowen hopes this result can springboard his side into a run of form over the festive period, he also reflected on a tense moment at full-time, involving him and Wolves captain Mario Lemina.
He added: “It’s a huge result. We knew tonight was a must-win really, coming off the back of two defeats, and we just had to get the three points in whatever way we could.
“We’ve had a couple of goals disallowed, so it could’ve been a bit more comfortable, but we kept fighting, and I think we deserved it. We felt like we deserved more at Leicester last week, but unlike then, tonight we’ve managed to take our chances. We go to Bournemouth now, looking to back tonight up.
“I don’t think there’s any bad blood with what happened at the end. I wanted to shake his hand, as I think that’s the respectful thing for two captains to do after a game. I probably boiled over a bit at the end, with a bit of everything coming out, but it’s put to bed now and I’m just happy with the final result.”
