'It was a real kick in the teeth': Jarrod Bowen reveals West Ham are hurt by Carabao Cup knockout by Tottenham, as forward also insists recent levels from David Moyes' side 'have not been at the standards we've set'

Jarrod Bowen has admitted that West Ham crashing out of the Carabao Cup at the hands of Tottenham last night came as a 'real kick in the teeth' after their superb start to the season.

David Moyes' side, who are pushing for the Champions League spots in the Premier League, travelled across London for the derby, but found themselves exiting the competition after a 2-1 defeat.

And in-form forward Bowen, who played all 90 minutes of the quarter-final tie, has opened up on the effect the knockout has had.
