LUTON, England, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Pacesetters West Ham United claimed a 2-1 Premier League victory at Luton Town thanks to headers by Jarrod Bowen and Kurt Zouma on Friday to spoil the hosts' much-anticipated first top-flight game at their snug Kenilworth Road stadium in 31 years.
I don't score many headers," said Bowen, the first West Ham player since 1930 to score in their first three away games.
"We showed the character to deal with the atmosphere," West Ham manager David Moyes told the BBC.
"Good against a tough team who are going to put teams under a lot of pressure.
New signing Ross Barkley launched a left-foot effort moments later that sailed just wide of the West Ham goal.
