West Ham United made it three wins on the bounce as they defeated Bolton Wanderers 3-2 away from home. The Hammers took the lead through Jarrod Bowen. However, they fell behind as Ethan Erhahon and Ruben Rodrigues struck for Bolton.
Dinos Mavropanos equalised just before half-time, before Bowen struck a late winner in the second period. Fixtures are coming thick and fast for the Hammers, as their next game is at home to Wrexham on Friday night.
West Ham Player Ratings
Mads Hermansen - 5: The goalkeeper was unfortunate to concede from Erhahon's strike, which was heavily deflected off Mavropanos. Hermansen was sent the wrong way as Rodrigues scored from the spot.
Kyle Walker-Peters - 4: Walker-Peters often went forward and was involved in Bowen's opener. However, he was beaten easily in the build-up to Erhahon's equaliser for Bolton. Then he gave away the penalty from which Rodrigues scored.
Dinos Mavropanos - 8: Kept Bolton out with some well-timed challenges and clearances. Mavropanos' distribution was also very good. He is a threat from set pieces, as he scored from Arne Engels' free-kick.
Max Kilman - 6: Solid partner to Mavropanos at the back.
Ollie Scarles - 5: Scarles was booked early on, which meant that he was walking a tightrope for the rest of the time he was on the field.
Jarrod Bowen - 8: Fired the ball in off the underside of the crossbar to give the Hammers the lead. Bowen then squeezed in the winner after making an excellent run. Could have had a hat-trick but took to long for his final chance.
Divine Mukasa - 6: Played well, but would have wanted to contribute more to the attack.
Arne Engels - 7: Delivered an excellent free-kick to set up Mavropanos' goal.
Mohamadou Kanté - 6: Played in an unfamiliar attacking midfield role. Skyed an effort on goal well over the bar. Kanté also appeared to dive when looking for a penalty. However, he can drive with the ball and get shots on target.
Edvin Austbo - 5: The Norwegian did little of note.
Pablo - 6: Still yet to score his first West Ham goal. Pablo, at times, gets himself into the right positions. However, he often drops too deep and is more involved in build-up play.
Substitutes
Joel Piroe - 5: Came on for Pablo, but missed a good chance.
Manor Solomon - 7: The winger set up good chances for Piroe and Bowen.
Joel Veltman - 7: Played an excellent through ball from which Bowen got West Ham's winner.
Lewis Orford - 6: Put a good shift in when he came on for Mukasa.
Morato - N/A: Made his second appearance for the Hammers with another late cameo.
