West Ham United ace Jarrod Bowen scored our equaliser against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday night.
Jarrod Bowen put in another top tier performance for West Ham against Tottenham, and he bagged his 10th goal of the season in the process.

Hammers boss David Moyes has been deploying Bowen as a centre-forward recently – a position where the Scot believes the 26-year-old is suited to play in the long-term.
I still prefer to see the former Hull City ace out on the right wing. I think he’s far more dangerous when playing there.
That said, Bowen is definitely good enough to play through the middle. He works hard, runs the channels, and is a top-class finisher – something that he proved against Spurs on Thursday night…
Jarrod Bowen makes admission after Tottenham vs West Ham
The hard-working forward got us back into the game on Thursday night, with a really well taken goal after the ball fell to his feet inside the penalty box.
And Bowen admitted that he was very nervous when the ball fell to him on his right foot, when speaking on Amazon Prime on Thursday night (December 7th, 10:29pm):
“From here, I’m not a centre-forward but I know how to use my body, and bring others into play. Then it’s about trying to anticipate and gamble, and the ball came on my right foot and I was scared kicking the ball!”
That’s very honest from Bowen, but I actually think he’s very good with his weaker foot, extremely underrated in fact.
Seven of his goals for the Hammers have come from right-footed shots (Transfermarkt), and he always seems to be more than comfortable when shooting with both feet.
We are so lucky to have Jarrod Bowen, and his all-round display for West Ham against Tottenham on Thursday night encapsulated what he’s all about.
The way that he spoke to the media after the match, in such a humble and self-depreciating manner, makes me warm to him even more so.
