Talking about Bowen's first goal Shearer said:"He gave (Oleksandr) Zinchenko a torrid time, it was a very well timed run and that was an excellent finish."

Adding about Bowen's second goal, Shearer added: "Watch his movement, watch his run, the timing of his run again and another clever finish."

The draw means West Ham go into the final game just two points behind Manchester United in sixth and the final Europa League place.

"It shows the level of this club," said Bowen.

"We don't want to be one season finishing in Europe and the next in mid-table we want to be consistently finishing in these European places and we've still got sixth to play for."
