Jarrod Bowen’s last-minute goal clinched Europa Conference League glory for West Ham with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Fiorentina in the final in Prague.
Bowen latched onto Lucas Paqueta’s pass and fired home a low finish to spark delirious West Ham celebrations at the Fortuna Arena and secure the club’s first piece of major silverware in 43 years.
Earlier, Said Benrahma’s 67th-minute penalty had been cancelled out by a quickfire strike by Giacomo Bonaventura, but David Moyes’ side showed impressive resilience, withstanding heavy pressure at times during the game and then striking in the 90th minute.
The victory ends a wait of more than four decades for major silverware and means they have won a European trophy for the second time in their history following the club’s UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup triumph in 1965. It also guarantees their place in next year’s Europa League.
