The Carabao Cup exit at Molineux continues a torrid start to the season for West Ham, who are bottom of the Premier League after two heavy defeats. Graham Potter’s side led at Wolves, but conceded to late goals to crash out of the competition.

Following the full-time whistle, Bowen was involved in a confrontation with the fans and has since issued an apology.

“Apologies to the fans for tonight’s reaction,” Bowen wrote on Instagram.

“I’m someone who is passionate and will fight every time I step on the pitch. But I need to set a better example and you fans know how much I love you and this club.

“We ride through the bad times together and I’ll see you all Sunday.”

Graham Potter defended Bowen and said everyone at West Ham is ‘suffering’ as the club struggle for form.

Potter said: “We’re all in pain so we need everybody to help, we need everybody’s support, we need to push forward and on to the next match.

“The team’s suffering at the moment, we all are, we’re all hurting. I can assure you no-one’s happy.

“I have no idea what was said or anything. Our supporters have been fantastic, they are hurting because of the results we’ve had and Jarrod obviously cares about the club and the team. It’s just an exchange of views by people who care.

“Everyone is hurting, rightly so because we haven’t had the results we’d like. Jarrod has been a fantastic captain and servant for the club.”
