Jarrod Bowen again showed himself to be a very troublesome player indeed as the Irons put it across Newcastle at St James’ Park
Like the rest of the squad Jarrod was bang on his game after a short summer break and helping catapult the team into fourth place at the end of the first round of fixtures.
To start with four goals away from home against a team who had twice put us to the sword last season was fantastic and puts us in perfect shape to meet Leicester City – who themselves started their programme with a win – a week on Monday.
Just three months after seeing off Southampton 3-0 to close the 20/21 season the boys went one better and it might even have been six but for a missed penalty and an Antonio sitter.
Jarrod Bowen was thrilled with the three-point haul, saying his team’s performance going forward was exactly what they were searching for.
Commenting afterwards he declared: “I think we’ve started where we want to be and it shows what we’re about, To come away and score four goals and start with three points is fantastic.
“Last season we started with a defeat against Newcastle, so it’s great to be at the top straight away rather than having to catch up.
“Any victory we’re buzzing with. We knew it would be totally different with the atmosphere and we knew they’d have the crowd behind them. We fell behind but we stuck in there, and we knew with the attack we had we’d be able to put our chances away.
“Look to what it means to the fans – it’s great to have them back.”
