Declan Rice and Jesse Lingard have responded to Jarrod Bowen after his winner for West Ham against Wolves.
The England international scored a crucial winner for the Hammers on Monday (9 December) just minutes after Matt Doherty equalised.
The 27-year-old dedicated the goal to Michail Antonio with his celebration and with a post to Instagram which said: “A win that meant so much more. We are all with you Michail Antonio”.
This was met by responses from former London Stadium favourites with ex-loanee Lingard replying with three hearts.
Current Arsenal star Rice replied saying: “Different class tonight, Jaz. Pleasure to watch”.

The skipper was at his typical best against Gary O’Neil’s side in what was a must win for Julen Lopetegui after a poor defeat against Leicester City.
It was far from a classic performance from the Spaniard’s side but he was saved by a moment of brilliance from the former Hull City man.
His close control and manipulation of the ball was enough to make the most of a half chance to bend a perfect effort into the bottom corner.
This just reaffirmed to Hammers fans and general football fans just how good the forward is regardless of scoring just four this season.

It is also a testament to Bowen that star names that have moved on from East London still hold him in such high esteem.
Rice has gone on to do great things with Arsenal and England since leaving the Irons but it is clear that he still remembers how impactful the ex-Hereford man is.
