West Ham attacker Bowen: We cannot let Viborg back in

West Ham attacker Jarrod Bowen says they cannot relax tonight against Viborg in their Europa Conference League playoff.

David Moyes' men will take a crucial two-goal advantage to Viborg FF after a 3-1 victory in the first leg at the London Stadium.

Bowen told the club's website: "We're all focused on our match with Viborg.

"It's not been the start we wanted [in the Premier League], so this tie is important for us. We've got a good lead, and we want to make sure we comfortably get the job done and get into the group stage. We want to bring European football to the stadium for the fans.

"We learned a lot about Viborg in the first leg.

"We've got a two-goal lead going into the away game, which is a comfortable lead for us. But we've got to be respectful of the opposition. We saw their threats when we played them at our place. We know at their place they'll have a good following behind them, and they'll create a good atmosphere. We've got to be clever. We're two goals up. We've got to do nothing silly to give them a leg back up."
