LONDON: Jarrod Bowen scored two goals when West Ham returned to the top four of the Premier League with a 2-0 victory at home for the Norwich underwater club on Wednesday.

Bowen almost placed West Ham in two minutes at the London Stadium when he was found by the Manuel Lanzini ball into the box, but his shot was too close to the Krul Team Norwich goalkeeper.
Lanzini became close moments later and Krul was lucky to avoid conceding when he clashed with Nikola Vlasic on the goal line, pushing forward to his face.
West Ham has a ball in the net in the 35th minute when Bowen’s cross directly enters but the effort is not permitted considering Vlasic is offside.
Their dominance, however, was appreciated three minutes before the break when Bowen was in front of Ben Gibson to get a cross from Vladimir Coefal.
Michail Antonio should have made him 2-0 earlier in the second half but shot past the crossbar of six meters.
Bowen then denied the second goal, with the chip over Krul back from the crossbar before the shot which was deflected crashed into a post.
