West Ham midfielder Jarrod Bowen: Euro progress exactly what we targeted | OneFootball

West Ham midfielder Jarrod Bowen is delighted they're in the Europa League round of 16.

With attentions now turning fully to domestic commitments until at least March time, Bowen expects progression in Europe to be reciprocated by the Irons' progression in the Premier League.

It speaks volumes that West Ham go into Sunday's Premier League game away at Manchester City just two places, and three points, behind the reigning English champions.

The No20 told the club's website: “When the Europa League draw got made, it was many of ours' first experiences in European competition, and of course we want to do well in every competition that we're in, domestically and on European nights.

“Obviously it's our first experience of this competition and we want to stay in it as long as we can, so to finish top of the group and to go straight into the Round of 16 is what we wanted to do, and we've done it really well.

“We're doing well, and now we just want to keep progressing and taking each game as it comes and seeing where we go."
