Fiorentina 1-2 West Ham (B’ventura 67; Benrahma 62, Bowen 90)David Moyes’s side lift club’s first trophy since FA Cup in 1980
It was David Moyes’s moment. Off he went, racing down the touchline, only stopping when he was in front of the fans behind the Fiorentina goal. The clock showed 90 minutes and Jarrod Bowen, released by a beautiful pass from Lucas Paquetá, had raced through to put West Ham within touching distance of their first trophy in 43 years.
They were all off the bench when Bowen’s shot slithered past Pietro Terracciano. West Ham had not played well but it made no difference. Moyes had the first major trophy of his managerial career. Declan Rice, playing in his final game for the club, had joined Bobby Moore as one of two captains to lead West Ham to a major European trophy.
