New Delhi: West Ham United hold a crucial 1-0 advantage over Arsenal at half-time as Jarrod Bowen struck a historic goal. The England international etched his name into the club’s history books by netting his 50th Premier League goal for the Hammers. He becomes only the second player to achieve this feat after Michail Antonio.
As the game approached half-time, West Ham struck a decisive blow through Bowen’s well-placed header. The goal stemmed from a rapid counterattack with Aaron Wan-Bissaka making an impressive surge down the right flank before whipping a pinpoint cross into the box. Bowen’s trademark movement and sharp finishing were on display as he found space to guide a diving header past Arsenal’s goalkeeper and send the away supporters into celebration mode.
This landmark moment underlines Bowen’s significance to West Ham with the winger continuing to prove his worth as one of the club’s most reliable attacking outlets. His achievement of 50 Premier League goals further cements his status as a pivotal figure in the team’s recent successes.

Can Arsenal respond in the second half?
Mikel Arteta’s side now faces the challenge of overturning the deficit in the second half. The Gunners have enjoyed a great possession but have struggled to break down West Ham’s resolute defence so far. With the likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Martin Odegaard on the pitch Arsenal can certainly possess the firepower to mount a comeback.
The Hammers are eyeing back-to-back wins at the Emirates after their memorable 2-0 triumph last season where Tomas Soucek and Dinos Mavropanos found the net. A repeat of that success would serve as a massive boost for David Moyes’ men as they look to finish the season strongly.
With 20 minutes left to play all eyes will be on whether Bowen’s milestone goal proves to be the match-winner or if Arsenal can turn the tide and reclaim the points on their home turf.
