West Ham United finally broke a 58 year old jinx by winning a continental competition in Europe.
The Hammers won their first major European trophy since 1965 by beating Fiorentina 2-1 in the Europa Conference League final.
Winger Jarrod Bowen scored a late winner inn the dying minute of the game for David Moyes’ side in Prague.
Bowen raced onto Lucas Paqueta’s defence-splitting through-ball to bear down on goal and rifle past Pietro Terracciano.
West Ham had opened the scoring just after the hour through Said Benrahma’s penalty from Cristiano Biraghi’s handball.
However, Fiorentina equalised a few minutes later as Giacomo Bonaventura found the far corner with a well-taken finish.
The Hammers withstood heavy pressure at times, but held firm before scoring a late winner that sealed a long-awaited triumph.
West Ham now have their first major trophy in 43 years. It’s also their second European trophy after the 1965 Cup Winners’ Cup.
West Ham will join Liverpool, Brighton to feature in next year’s Europa League competition by virtue of winning the Europa Conference League.
