West Ham United secured a 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night to ease the pressure on under-fire boss Julen Lopetegui.
The Hammers applied a lot of pressure in the first-half, but they failed to create many chances and the scores remained 0-0 until the break.
The game began to open up in the second-half, and West Ham finally broke the deadlock through Tomas Soucek’s brilliant header.
Matt Doherty restored parity from Rayan Ait-Nouri’s cross for the visitors, but the Irons had the last laugh after Jarrod Bowen’s decisive second goal.
The National press were hugely impressed with the England international and showered him with praise.
The Daily Mirror handed him the highest 8/10 rating, saying he produced the ‘game’s solitary moment of top quality’.
Their verdict read: “Hammers captain Bowen produced the game’s solitary moment of top quality when evading two Wolves players before sending a left-footed finish into the bottom corner”.
Bowen also set up Soucek to score the Irons’ first goal in the 54th minute.
The 27-year-old had 58 touches in the game, completing 23 of his 28 passes. He registered two tackles, an interception and three key passes.
The forward completed 100% of his long balls and won seven of his 14 ground duels.
Bowen has been one of the most important players for West Ham, and if they are to do well, it is crucial that he continues performing well.
The winger has started all 15 Premier League matches this season, scoring four goals and four assists in the process.
The Hammers’ fans will hope he carries his good form into their next match against Bournemouth on Monday.
