West Ham United captain Jarrod Bowen blasts defeat as 'disgusting'

After six consecutive Premier League games without a win, West Ham United captain Jarrod Bowen had hoped to turn the tide against Brighton. However, even though the team once overtook the score, West Ham United eventually suffered a reversal in the final moments of the game and swallowed a bitter defeat.
Bowen made two key assists in the game, helping Mohammed Kudus and Tomas Soucek score goals, which once gave West Ham United a 2-1 lead and was about to win a long-awaited victory. However, in the 89th minute, Kaoru Mitoma equalized with a header, and Carlos Baleba scored another goal in injury time, handing over the victory.
After the game, Bowen was in low spirits and said that such a defeat was "disgusting" and stressed that the team must be responsible for their performance. Bowen said: "We were in a position to win, but we didn't win in the end. This is not the first time. The Premier League is the most difficult league in the world. Even if you have to play for 100 minutes, you must stay focused."
What is even more heartbreaking for the team is that this is the third consecutive game in which West Ham United lost points in the final moments. In previous matches against Liverpool and Southampton, West Ham United was also reversed or tied in the final stages of the game when they were leading or tied.
With only four rounds left in the Premier League, West Ham United is ranked 17th, close to the relegation zone. Bowen called on the team to rebound urgently: "We play for a club that has 60,000 fans coming to support us every week. It is unacceptable to be in this ranking. We have a responsibility to fight for ourselves and for our fans."
Next, West Ham United will face Tottenham at home. Bowen said this will be a crucial derby that must be won: "This is the time for us to show real fighting spirit. We can't let this season end like this. We must unite and defend the final dignity for the club and fans."
