Andy Townsend hailed West Ham United ace Jarrod Bowen for his “beautifully executed” goal that sent England 4-0 up against the Republic of Ireland in their Nations League clash on Sunday.
Bowen: I’m here to stay and no one can stop me, I play my best and I will always do that.
The attacker scored within the first 15 seconds of coming on the pitch and coolly struck a perfectly weighted pass from Jude Bellingham into the back of the net in a match England won 5-0 to return to the top tier of the Nations League.
Speaking live on talkSPORT (17 November, 18:35pm), Townsend shared his thoughts on Bowen’s first-time finish.
“Very well worked, beautifully executed as well,” he said. “Lovely ball from Bellingham, just at the right pace, just enabling Jarrod Bowen.
“First touch for him and enabling him to walk onto it with the left leg, hit it first time, really well-worked goal”.
West Ham United ace Jarrod Bowen finally scores first England goal
Over the last couple of seasons, Bowen has found himself in some of the best form of his career.
The attacker has been by far and away the Hammers’ best player this term and has earned West Ham three points by himself on more than one occasion.
He’s been Julen Lopetegui’s saving grace and now that he has his first England goal under his belt, it could well spur him on to perform better in future Three Lions camps
The Englishman will no doubt be looking to get himself a ticket for the 2026 World Cup and if his form for his club can carry over onto the international stage, it’s hard to see how he’d be denied that opportunity, even if he was a late call-up to the squad this time around.
Only time will tell what the future has in store for the former Hull City man but at the moment, things seem to be all sunshine and rainbows in the 27-year-old’s life.
