West Ham United Stuns Fiorentina to Win Europa Conference League Final
West Ham won the Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina in a dramatic game that ended in a 1-0 score with a last-minute goal from Jarrod Bowen.
West Ham had finished 14th in the Premier League table this season, making it the lowest position any team has finished in the table in the same season they won a major European trophy.
The game was testing and sometimes violent, with Fiorentina's captain being struck by a plastic bottle thrown from the West Ham section.
The match was settled in the most dramatic manner, with Bowen scoring the winning goal after a pass from Lucas Paqueta.
The victory means that West Ham will play in the Europa League next season and secure a place in European football for the third year in a row, which is a club record.
The victory also means that Declan Rice, who is probably leaving the club, has led West Ham to glory, emulating club greats Bobby Moore and Billy Bonds.
The win was celebrated by West Ham fans and the team, with players and manager David Moyes joining in the joyful celebrations.
