Jarrod Bowen says West Ham United made a statement with their opening weekend win over Newcastle United.

The Hammers came from behind twice to claim a 4-2 victory.

"I think we've started where we want to be and it shows what we're about," Bowen told the club's website.

"To come away and score four goals and start with three points is fantastic.

"Last season we started with a defeat against Newcastle, so it's great to be at the top straight away rather than having to catch up."
