West Ham midfielder Jarrod Bowen was delighted to be part of victory over Chelsea.

The Hammers had to show their mettle against the league leaders, fighting back after Thiago Silva and Mason Mount twice gave them the lead.

Once again, they showed that spirit and togetherness in bundles, levelling first through Manuel Lanzini's penalty and then Bowen's low strike.

That set the scene for Arthur Masuaku to win it in style late on, as his cross-shot flew in at the near post to give his team another huge three points.

"No, it doesn't come much better than that," Bowen told West Ham TV at the full-time whistle.

“The atmosphere in here was electric and as players from the first minute to the last you could see the intent from us, and we got the three points to show for that.

“We kept going and grafting, we showed the real spirit and togetherness that this group has. The team came out in the second half and got the goal to get us back into it before scoring again. We dug deep at the end, but we managed to get the winner in the end."

He added: "We haven't been at our usual levels in the last couple of matches, sometimes that happens over the course of the season, but today was a great opportunity for us to bounce back and test ourselves against one of the best teams in the world, and we've done that and got the victory.

"Beating these top teams is what we want to keep doing and make a habit out of doing. We're doing well in Europe and in the Carabao Cup as well, so there's a lot of games coming up and we want to keep that momentum going with top performances."
