Before Bowen’s strike clinched the much-needed three points… even if it came at a painful cost.
Following the match, boss David Moyes joked of Bowen’s finger dislocating: “His feet have been doing that at times this season.”
The Scot then added: “That was huge for Jarrod. I told him that if he scores five or six goals he’ll be on that aeroplane. Today was a typical Jarrod Bowen goal. That was more like Jarrod.”
