West Ham assistant coach Billy McKinlay has praised Jarrod Bowen after their friendly win against Udinese.

The Irons carried a threat throughout, with Jarrod Bowen looking sharp and having a hand in two goals, Said Benrahma scoring for the second time in four days, Manuel Lanzini netting a 25-yard rocket and Michail Antonio converting late on to complete a worthwhile, whirlwind 24 hours in cold, wet north-eastern Italy.

McKinlay told whufc.com: "Jarrod was a major threat, especially off the back of the disappointment of not going to the World Cup with England.

"We know how important Jarrod is to us and I thought he was particularly dangerous today. He had a lot of really good situations and created a couple of goals for us.

"We know he'll come good in terms of goals in the second half of the season, so we're pleased for him.

"We've got Fulham at Craven Cottage next and it's a nice game for me going back there, where I've got fond memories of a terrific club.

"Hopefully it won't be so good for them next Saturday as we'll get a good result, but it'll be nice to go back!"
