Yannick Bolasie raves about West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen
Yannick Bolasie has showered heaps of praise on West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen after he scored against Lyon on Thursday.
The Hammers, who managed a 1-1 draw in the first leg at home, produced arguably their best away performance of the season, as they won 3-0 in France.
Craig Dawson opened the scoring for the visitors before Declan Rice added another in the first half. Bowen scored shortly after the break leaving Lyon no chance of coming back into the game.
Bolasie wrote on Twitter: “Jarrod Bowen my type of winger!!! Love that guy.”
Fantastic
The 25-year-old is enjoying a phenomenal campaign for the Hammers, and he has now scored 15 goals in all competitions.
Bowen has also managed nine assists for his side, and it will be a grave injustice to him if he is not selected for the national team by Gareth Southgate.
After returning from injury, Bowen has been in excellent scoring form, having managed three goals in the last four games for the Hammers.
Bowen is a versatile forward who has been used as a striker by Moyes as well this season.
The problem for the Hammers is that without enough options in the forward department, the club is heavily relying on Bowen to deliver.
Meanwhile, West Ham will face Eintracht Frankfurt in the semi-final of the Europa League after the German side defeated Barcelona 3-2 at the Camp Nou.
It was a statement victory for the Hammers, and Bowen certainly has played his part.
