Englishman Jarrod Bowen scored a dramatic 90th-minute goal for West Ham to secure their first major European trophy since 1965 with a 2-1 win over Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League final on Wednesday. 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. Bowen picked up a superb through ball from Lucas Paqueta, before sending a low shot past a helpless Pietro Terracciano in the Fiorentina goal. Earlier, Said Benrahma had opened the scoring for West Ham in Prague as he blasted a penalty past Terracciano on 62 minutes after VAR had caught Cristiano Biraghi handling the ball while trying to stop Bowen in the box. However, Giacomo Bonaventura levelled five minutes later, beating West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola with a fine, low right-footed effort. Football's greatest stories couldn't have been scripted with West Ham United who were battling relegation in the EPL this season and their manager David Moyes under pressure.
