West Ham United fans have hailed Jarrod Bowen after his superb full debut against Southampton on Saturday.
The Hammers won 3-1 at the London Stadium to climb out of the relegation zone ahead of the remainder of the weekend’s Premier League fixtures.
Did he really play for us?! No West Ham fan has managed to name all of these obscure Irons signings....
Bowen, signed in January from Hull City, was a key proponent of David Moyes’ side victory, scoring his side’s opening goal in the 15th minute.
Having been played through by attacking midfielder Pablo Fornals, he took a touch and lifted the ball over Saints goalkeeper Alex McCarthy.
Bowen had previously only played 16 minutes for the club, coming on as a substitute against both Manchester City and Liverpool.
But supporters loved his performance against Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men.
Indeed, this was a display that suggests that Bowen can only get better.
Per WhoScored, he had four shots on goal throughout the game, registered one key pass, three dribbles as well as four tackles. In addition to that, Bowen also made one interception and one clearance.
Signed for a fee of £20m from Hull in the most recent transfer window, he has given a glimpse into just how good he could be for Moyes’ men.
Indeed, prior to the move, he scored 16 goals in 29 Championship outings for Hull and now has one in one start for the Hammers.
If he can keep this up, one has to imagine that the Irons have a very realistic chance of remaining in the Premier League.
