For last night's fifth round win against Brentford, Bowen swapped goals with Brentford striker Igor Thiago as the two teams finished extra-time at 2-2.
In the shootout, Dango Ouattara fluffed his Panenka attempt for Brentford, so seeing West Ham win on penalties, 5-3.
Bowen said afterwards: "That is what we have needed, a bounce back, a lift. I go back to the QPR game which was almost a season changing moment for us, going through again in extra time, and then going to Tottenham and playing Sunderland and we won those games.
"Sometimes it can take a game like that to really turn your season around and we have been improving week by week.
"Tonight again we faced another side that are really difficult to play against and it took penalties to get there but you see the celebrations at the end, players, fans, everyone enjoying it. It's what this club has missed this season."
On leading by example with his goals, Bowen added: "I enjoy scoring goals and I enjoy being captain of this club. It has not been an easy season, you are the captain and the questions are going to come to you, so you have to step up and answer. Maybe I haven't done it as well as I would have liked the last few weeks but I never hide away from a situation.
"I always try to stand up and be counted. I know goals will come in my game and thankfully tonight I got two goals and it helped us to win the game."
