Jarrod Bowen taunts Tottenham fans as West Ham United star gesture detailed by BBC journalist
Jarrod Bowen “raised a taunting fist” to the travelling Tottenham support as West Ham equalised against their London rivals on Tuesday (2 April).
Brennan Johnson gave the visitors an early lead at the London Stadium before Kurt Zouma equalised for the hosts from a corner.
It was Bowen who provided the assist, with Emma Smith revealing what the forward did during the celebrations via BBC Sport (8:41 pm, 2 April).
“A good response from West Ham to going behind.
“There is fire in this team, exemplified by Jarrod Bowen who raised a taunting fist to the Spurs fans after providing the assist for Zouma’s equaliser.”
Jarrod Bowen will be a popular man among West Ham supporters after what he did against Tottenham
West Ham and Tottenham are two of the Premier League’s fiercest rivals, and there is very often no love lost between the two sets of supporters.
Any player who winds up Tottenham fans will be a popular man at the London Stadium, but beyond his cheeky antics, Bowen is also arguably the most popular player in East London for his footballing contributions.
He is the club’s top scorer in the Premier League this season with 15 goals in England’s top flight as well as his five assists, and his celebration on Tuesday demonstrates that he is claret and blue through and through.
If the England international continues in this vein of form between now and the end of the season, there is no reason why the Hammers can’t once again qualify for Europe and progress deep into the UEFA Europa League.
As long as Bowen is scoring and winding up Tottenham fans, he will be a popular man.
