It is the second European trophy for West Ham after they won the now defunct Cup Winners' Cup 58 years ago with a team including England World Cup heroes Bobby Moore and Geoff Hurst.
PRAGUE - Jarrod Bowen's dramatic 90th-minute goal secured West Ham their first major European trophy since 1965 with a 2-1 win over Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League final on Wednesday.
Giacomo Bonaventura levelled five minutes later, beating West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola with a fine, low right-footed effort. West Ham have also clinched a spot in next season's Europa League with the win, while Fiorentina will miss out on European competition after finishing eighth in the Serie A.They spent most of the last season battling the prospect of relegation, finishing 14th in the Premier League in the end."We had a dream, we haven't had the best season, myself included, but to give these fans this moment, I'm over the moon," Bowen said.
"Last year we won the group, got to the semi-final, this year we won the group, got unbeaten, now we won the final," said the 60-year-old Scot. Fiorentina striker Luka Jovic then tapped the ball across the line on a rebound but his goal was ruled out for offside.Declan Rice's 13th-minute shot from outside the box whizzed just past the post in the Hammers' best chance of the first half.
