Jarrod Bowen argues with West Ham fans after being knocked out of the Carabao Cup Second Round by Wolves on Tuesday night.
Wolves advance through to the third round of the Carabao Cup with a 3-2 victory over West Ham with two goals from Jorgen Strand Larsen to win it.
Rodrigo Gomes put the hosts ahead just before half time but goals from Tomas Soucek and Lucas Paqueta put the Hammers in charge until Strand Larsen came off the bench and scored twice having not long come off the bench.
It is a first win of the season for Vitor Pereira’s side, while it is three defeats out of three for Graham Potter’s West Ham.
After the game, West Ham players went over to applaud the travelling support, but it is reported that something was said to Bowen, which had him trying to go over the advertising boards.
BBC Sport wrote in their blog: Post-match pictures from Molineux show captain Jarrod Bowen being ushered away from West Ham fans by stewards. Bowen looked upset about something. More about that when we get it.
Henry Winter tweets: “TV shows Jarrod Bowen angered by something said by a #WHUFC fan, maybe about the team. You can’t have a go at Bowen. Always gives everything, offers a threat, great assist, who cares for team & club. Bowen one of few positives atm. Board & Potter need to look at themselves first.”
Bowen had taken to Instagram after the game, saying: “Apologies to the fans for tonight’s reaction. I’m someone who is passionate and will fight every time I step on the pitch.
“But I need to set a better example and you fans know how much I love you and this club! We ride through the bad times together and I’ll see you all Sunday.”

Jarrod Bowen almost lets his frustration get the better of him in an exchange with a supporter. Really unlike Bowen to lose his cool like this. Tomas Soucek, Alphonse Areola and the stewards prevent Bowen from climbing over the advertising boards. #WHUFC pic.twitter.com/DrJkBSJdyS

Here’s how Twitter users reacted after Jarrod Bowen argues with West Ham fans after being knocked out of the Carabao Cup away at Wolves…
@OllyNew04: What loyalty does to a man… get out Jarrod, before it drives you crazy!
@adamwolves93: Bowen shit it 😂 could easily step of the advertisements but runs to by stewards then tries to step over 🤣🤣
@Callum___Moran: These guys are a mess 😂😂😂
@RickyJulito: you deserve better man. I wouldnt blame him if…
@KaneDowell11: I beg Bowen get out the club & go win something
@LK_WHU: Saying Bowen has been shit this season tells me loads about your football IQ.
@forestlau7: The fact that he’s arguing atleast shows he cares 🤷♀️
@Joe_BM6: This is the lowest I think it’s ever been. Even that Burnley match didn’t feel as toxic and awful as this.
@Lawrenceee_B: What’s not shown is him ripping the armband off as he walks across the pitch. Not a big fan of that at all.
@westhamlive5: As if the fan is having a go at Bowen of all people
@BobbyAWhufc: He isn’t exempt from criticism, hes the captain. He should be telling potter this ain’t working . He should be on the wing not up top
@justin_finch: Our season feels like it has ended after 3 games. Potters in game management decisions tonight were awful. He has to be the worst manager we’ve had in recent memory. 5 wins in 22 games including cups. This is really bad now.
@HammeRz97: If it wasn’t for Bowen we would have been down last season and the one before 😂🤣
@baracca47: This is such a sad thing to see. Club is a total mess. Nothing works properly. We need to get rid of Potter for starters.
@MF46828020: Just sums this club up and Sullivan has allowed this to happen I can’t wait for the day that cunt dies because he ain’t selling up no matter how much pressure we put on him
@COYIronscom: Bowen losing his head and having to be held back by Soucek from arguing with a fan in the away end just about sums where West Ham United are at as a football club right now. Bowen is the last person to be blaming for this mess, but it also isn’t a good look from our captain.
@GPotter_Szn: Abusing Jarrod Bowen of all players is one of the most pathetic things I’ve seen. He might not be the captain we need, but he’s dragged West Ham out of hell and given us nights we’ll never forget. Those two fans at Molineux are a disgrace. Your anger should be at Sullivan.
@ZaynafamilyMary: He was really upset and I hate to see anyone have a go at him. Jarrod has been so fabulous for us and he really care.
Two of West Ham’s best players in the last 20 years at breaking point.
They need help from above and it’s not coming atm.
Every fan knows the issues at the club they have been talking about it for years.
But taking shots at players like Bowen and Soucek is not going to help. pic.twitter.com/HVnoTavGlO
