West Ham favourite Tony Cottee has been praising current star Jarrod Bowen following the 1-0 victory over Watford.
The Hammers were far from their free-flowing best in East London but it was the 25-year-old who netted the all-important goal to send the Hammers back into the Premier League top four.
This came after the Englishman left it late to rescue David Moyes’ side from the ignominy of being taken to penalties by National League North side Kidderminster Harriers in the FA Cup on the weekend.
Taking to Twitter following the full-time whistle, Cottee was quick to hail the Irons’ saviours.
That man again Jarrod Bowen 🔥 Not sure where our goals would of come from without him recently 👏🏼

Bowen earned an impressive 8.40 Sofascore rating for a performance containing one goal, 61 touches, two shots on target and two big chances created.
This season the former Hull City man has now scored 11 times and provided 10 assists in 34 appearances across all competitions.

It’s true, Michail Antonio is now without a goal in four league games as Bowen has struck four times in the same period.
Last night’s victory was all the more crucial as Manchester United dropped points at Burnley with the race for the top-four well and truly on.
Should manager David Moyes get both Antonio and his £31.5million valued winger firing on all cylinders simultaneously, then the Irons are in with one hell of a chance.
