Leon Osman gushes over ‘sensational’ West Ham ace Jarrod Bowen
Leon Osman was left gushing over Jarrod Bowen after he scored the third and final goal for West Ham in their Europa League quarter final second leg clash v Lyon.
David Moyes pulled off a tactical masterclass as his side eased past the Ligue 1 side 3-0 on the night and 4-1 on aggregate.
The BBC pundit hailed the “out of this world” build-up play as the Englishman bagged yet another goal.
He said on BBC’s live blog: “We’ve just spoken about his goal threat. His desire to get in the right positions. His ability to finish when he gets there.
“That is an absolutely sensational goal from back to front. They had possession in their own area.
“West Ham are just playing out of this world. David Moyes would not have believed his side could play like this.”
Wow.
What a game that was.
West Ham showed immense maturity with that performance: riding out a difficult first half with Craig Dawson notching a goal right at the death to give the Hammers the advantage.
Moyes must have done wonders at half-time with his team talk because the Hammers came out and done the business, wrapping the game up within five minutes of the second half. Lyon didn’t know what had hit them.
It was a magnifcant performance from the Irons and one very worthyof booking their place in the semi-final against Eintracht Frankfurt.
This team can forget about the Premier League now – completetely – and put every ounce of their focus on the Europa League.
If they continue to put in performances like that they will be crowned champions at the end of the season with a place in the Champions league.
