Jarrod Bowen put up an amazing display at the London Stadium on Monday as West Ham United defeated Wolves 2-1 in the Premier League to earn a victory after two consecutive defeats. It was the skipper, Bowen, who took the corner which was converted by Tomas Soucek but just 15 minutes later Wolves struck back. They equalised after a brilliant finish from Matt Doherty, who met Ait Nouri’s excellent cross into the centre of the box.
As the game was levelled, two minutes later, Bowen scored the winner. He bamboozled Guedes on the left of the area and steered a shot brilliantly into the bottom-right corner past the Wolves goalkeeper, Sam Johnstone.
