West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen found the net in a losing effort from David Moyes’ side.
The Hammers fell to a late defeat at the London Stadium as a 94th-minute strike from Yoane Wissa handed Brentford all three points.
That defeat means the Irons head into the international break placed ninth in the league and well placed to mount another European push.
Despite the disappointing loss, former West Ham defender turned pundit Tony Gale was full of praise for Bowen’s strike on the Premier League world feed.
That’s a smashing half volley by Bowen. The keeper didn’t even have a chance to move. He’s finally got his goal.
All that had been missing from the Englishman’s recent displays was that all-important goal.
So far this season Bowen has now scored once and provided two assists for teammates in 10 appearances across all competitions.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Bowen has been in scintillating form this term, without the goal contributions to show for it.
Adding more moments of quality like this to a well-rounded game is an important factor to take the ace’s game to the next level.
A goal worthy of at least a point in any game, West Ham and Bowen, in particular, will be disspirited to fall to a late defeat.
