Decisive figure sets the tone for West Ham United with opener and supply | OneFootball

Jarrod Bowen opened the scoring in the 28th minute with a close-range finish as West Ham United beat Wrexham 6-0. The forward's early strike set the platform for a dominant night.

He timed his run to the back post to turn in Morato's teasing cross, a poacher's finish that broke Wrexham's shape and released the Hammers' wide runners.

After the restart, he switched to provider, whipping in a corner that Konstantinos Mavropanos headed home (48.). From there, Bowen kept finding pockets on the right to drag markers around and keep the Irons on the front foot.

The winger finished with four attempts, two on target, and five key passes, including three big chances created, underlining how his end product and delivery repeatedly unpicked Wrexham's back line.

His movement from the right flank, quick combinations and set-piece quality ensured the Hammers controlled the key phases and sustained pressure without letting the visitors breathe.

The Irons lead the Championship and host Fulham in the EFL Cup next. Wrexham host Southampton next in the Championship.
