West Ham midfielder Bowen on victory over Liverpool: It's about momentum

West Ham midfielder Jarrod Bowen hailed the manner of their 3-2 win against Liverpool.

Reflecting on the Irons' sensational run, Bowen spoke to West Ham TV about their winning momentum.

He saidl "I think we've spoken about the run of games. We've had so many in quick succession that when we have those games, we keep winning and keep performing because the momentum we carry through and the confidence is high, so we look forward to going into every game.

"Now we've got international break coming up, I'm sure we'd love to be playing in three days again! But now it's about looking back, evaluating the games and just giving ourselves credit for where we are right now in the league and how well we're doing in Europe as well.

"I said the other day that this Club is just a joy to be at at the minute and everyone's loving it, and you can see on the pitch how much it means to us and how much we're working for each other.

"I think in the second half we were much better – in the first half it was hard.

"We knew it was going to be hard against Liverpool. They keep the ball and they're relentless when they do. Sometimes, when you win the ball back, you're so tired from defending it's hard to keep the ball and keep your concentration, but that always happens, especially when you're playing against a team like Liverpool.

"With a bit of composure in the second half, we created a lot of chances. I think on another day we might have put some more in the back of the net, but we scored three goals against a very, very good Liverpool team, so we're obviously delighted with the three points."
