Watch Southampton Vs West Ham highlights as Jarrod Bowen’s second-half goal earned the Hammers victory on the South Coast against the Saints.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 28-year-old scored the game’s only goal as Julen Lopetegui’s<\/a> side battled to a 1-0 victory against a much-improved Southampton.<\/p>\n

New Saints boss Ivan Juric was denied a first point of his tenure when Bowen scrambled the ball into the net following a series of headers across the Southampton<\/a> box in the 59th minute.<\/p>\n

It was the hosts who dominated the first hour of the match, though. After West Ham<\/a> struck the crossbar early on, it was all Southampton for much of the game.<\/p>\n

But despite the Premier League’s<\/a> bottom side looking far better on both sides of the ball, they could not find that elusive goal.<\/p>\n

Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu went close numerous times, but either failed to hit the target or headed it straight at Fabianski in the West Ham goal.<\/p>\n

The Irons keeper was one of two enforced changes for West Ham in the first half. The Pole was forced off after a nasty collision with Southampton defender Nathan Wood.<\/p>\n

Julen Lopetegui also lost Max Kilman early on, but the replacements did their job and secured victory for the visitors.<\/p>\n

Guido Rodriguez looked to have been sent off as Southampton built pressure, but his red card was downgraded to yellow after a VAR review.<\/p>\n

After the break, West Ham grew into the match while the hosts faded. Bowen’s 100th league goal proved the difference as Southampton failed to score a late equaliser.<\/p>\n
