Jamie Bowden notched an assist in just his second appearance for Oldham Athletic on Tuesday night – after joining the club on loan from Tottenham. In a Carabao Cup clash against Tranmere, Bowden’s Oldham came from 2-0 down to win on penalties – and Oldham fans have praised the Spurs talent.

Only last week, 20-year-old Bowden secured a loan move to Oldham. It is his first move away from Spurs – having previously clocked up as much as 37 appearances for the Under-23 side. A central midfielder, he is known for getting forward and both scoring and creating goals. He posted on Twitter.

What are Oldham fans saying about Tottenham talent Bowden after Tuesday win?

Bowden, an Ireland Under-19 international made his debut for Oldham on Saturday during a 1-0 defeat to Newport County. He started again on Tuesday and lasted the entire 90 minutes – providing the assist for Oldham’s first goal. 2-0 down, it was Bowden’s quick thinking that got a goal back.

Taking a quick, short corner before the Tranmere defence had organised – Bowden passed it to Dylan Bahamboula who scored after a mazy run. An own goal then saw the match go to penalties after 90 minutes, and Oldham won 4-3. Fans of the League Two side applauded Tottenham rookie Bowden.
