West Ham United midfielder Jarrod Bowen says he fulfilled a dream scoring on his full debut in victory over Southampton.

A lot of haggling took place before Bowen's January transfer deadline-day move from Hull finally went through. The striker even had his medical in Yorkshire just in case the deal was not completed and he was required for duty in the Championship the following day.

It has taken a bit of time for Bowen to get his chance but, finally given a start by manager David Moyes, the 23-year-old showed why he has scored 39 goals in the last season-and-a-half.

"I think that's the way it went in my dreams last night," said Bowen.

"The assistant manager said the keeper liked to go down quickly. I knew the angle was tight so I got enough on it to dink it over him.

"I thought it might be offside - I joked with my dad last night about what if I scored and it was ruled out."
