West Ham United's recent resurgence has left their relegation rivals 'looking over their shoulders'. The Hammers' 3-1 victory over Sunderland, coupled with back-to-back Premier League wins, have propelled them into a precarious position, just two points shy of 17th place. This sudden turnaround has increased pressure on teams like Nottingham Forest and Leeds United, who were previously struggling to avoid relegation.
The transformation is attributed to the emergence of Jarrod Bowen as the team's talisman, with his creative skills and goal-scoring ability playing a pivotal role in the Hammers' revival. The 29-year-old Englishman has become the outright Premier League goal involvements leader for West Ham, overtaking Michail Antonio.
Former Wales captain Ashley Williams praises Bowen's performance, stating that he was "the talisman today" during the Sunderland match. His ability to create and score goals from wide areas has made him a key player in the team's resurgence. The former defender also commends the team's game management, which has improved significantly since their recent struggles.
However, West Ham still face significant challenges ahead, particularly in terms of defensive solidity. Their leaky backline has conceded numerous goals this season, making it difficult for them to maintain a clean sheet.
As they approach crucial matches against top-five chasers Chelsea and Manchester United, the Hammers will need to demonstrate their consistency and resolve if they are to avoid relegation. With Bowen's continued form and improved team management, West Ham may yet prove themselves as survivors in the Premier League.
