West Ham attacker Jarrod Bowen eager to maintain Wolves record

West Ham attacker Jarrod Bowen hopes to maintain his record against Wolves on Saturday.

A goal in a 2-0 triumph at London Stadium last October was the 26-year-old's fourth strike in his last five Premier League meetings with Saturday's opponents – a record he has not bettered against any other side while in Claret and Blue.

"It's about doing the same things," Bowen told whufc.com. “We've already beaten them at home this season, which was a good result. And there's been progress from us in the last few weeks too. Yes, some of the results haven't been what we wanted, but a 1-0 win away from home [at Brentford in the Emirates FA Cup third round] gives us a lot of confidence going into Wolves."

Even if he will not admit it, Bowen's goals have more than played their part in those five most-recent fixtures with Wolves. In them, the Irons have won four and tasted defeat just once, netted ten goals and conceded just three.

“We want to be respectful to them," Bowen continued, “but we want to stamp our authority on the game, and we need to start doing that now.

“'Momentum' is the big word. I look at the Leeds game and we were disappointed to not leave [Elland Road] with three points after going ahead in the second half. But it's a tough place to go and a good point in the end.

“We then built on that against Brentford. Again, it was a tough game, but we showed a real spirit [to win 1-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium]."
