West Ham's two-goal Jarrod Bowen was delighted after victory over Everton.

The No20 broke the deadlock on 31 minutes, using a perfectly-timed run to convert Kurt Zouma's knockdown, then arriving at the perfect moment 12 minutes later to smash Michail Antonio's cross into the net.

“I broke the news last night about having twins, so today was really special scoring two goals!" said Bowen to whufc.com. “I just gambled on a touch and the ball fell to me; it could not have been any easier to put it into the net. We have been speaking a lot about putting tap-in goals for other people. I just gambled and ran across the six-yard box and hopefully it falls to me and it did.

“Since we found out [about the twins], it has been hard to keep it away from everyone, but to release it last night and to score two today is really special. I could not have asked for a better weekend!

“When you are on a hat-trick you are always trying to score [another]," he added, smiling. “I had a couple where I went through [but could not find the net]. I am still trying to net a hat-trick, but two goals and a clean sheet for the defenders; it's a massive win for us.

“We have been disappointed with the position we are in, so today was really important to put in a good performance, especially to put smiles back on the faces [of the fans]."
