Tony Cottee drools over Jarrod Bowen in West Ham win v Norwich
Jarrod Bowen produced a stellar performance as West Ham secured a home win against Norwich City in the Premier League clash on Wednesday night.
The 25-year-old scored towards the end of the first half to put West Ham ahead at the break.
He could have easily scored four or five on the night and even managed to hit the woodwork twice as well.
West Ham legend Tony Cottee took to Twitter to express his reaction to Bowen’s performance. He wrote:
“That man again, Jarrod Bowen. He is proving a lot of people wrong and showing what a player he really is! England call up next.”
Amazing form
Bowen is enjoying a rich vein of form at the moment.
In the build-up to the first goal, he anticipated the cross from Vladimir Coufal and how brilliantly he glanced it into the net.
He was probably the smallest player on the pitch but he still managed to get his header on target. Also, it shows his positional awareness and his determination to get into the box.
In the second half, Bowen and Fornals ran the show. He was everywhere on the pitch.
James Collins, speaking on BBC Radio 5, was also pleased with the effort from Bowen saying he’s on fire at the moment, and there’s a reason why Jurgen Klopp is a big fan of the player.
Cottee is spot on here. Bowen deserves a call in the national team set-up, purely based on his form.
With players like Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho struggling horribly at Manchester United, it would be a grave injustice to not give Bowen at least one chance to showcase his talent.
The Hammers have now climbed to fourth in the table.
