Bowen brace puts West Ham top of the Championship
The relegated Premier League side came from behind to beat Bolton 3-2, their third win in eight days to storm up the table.
Jarrod Bowen scored twice as West Ham United defeated Bolton Wanderers 3-2 at Toughsheet Community Stadium, putting the Hammers at the top of the Championship table. The match came after the team had lost their first three games in the second tier following relegation from the Premier League. Bowen's decision to join West Ham was seen as a significant factor in the team's resurgence.
The England international expressed satisfaction with his performance, stating he wanted to score goals, provide assists, and secure points for the team. Despite Bolton's early equalizer and a penalty awarded to them, Bowen's goal in the 87th minute, assisted by a Bolton goalkeeper's error, secured the win for West Ham. The victory pushed the Hammers ahead of Swansea City, who were relegated to second place due to their 3-1 defeat at Southampton. Burnley remained at the bottom of the table, having drawn 1-1 with Wrexham.
