​West Ham manager Moyes delighted Bowen filling in for Antonio

West Ham United manager David Moyes only had words of praise for attacker Jarrod Bowen.

The Hammers were without key striker Michail Antonio against Sheffield United on Monday.

But they won 3-0, thanks to impressive shifts from Bowen and Jesse Lingard in attacking positions.

"When you get injuries and suspensions you've got to find other ways of solving it," said Moyes afterwards to reporters.

"Mickey's [Antonio] really important to us but I thought Jarrod played really well up front and supported around with Jesse, [Manuel] Lanzini and Said [Benrahma] at different times.

"We wanted to cause problems in a different way and thankfully it worked.

"It was a great professional job the players did tonight. Sheffield United played well and have been playing well. They made some chances but we defended well and took our chances."
