West Ham United have won the UEFA Europa Conference League after beating Fiorentina 2-1 (0-0) on Wednesday night in Prague! In a shocking finale of the second-ever Conference League showdown, David Moyes’ side triumphed thanks to Jarrod Bowen’s late winner. The tiny forward made the most of Lucas Paqueta’s through ball, timing his run to perfection to find the back of the net and the eternal glory.WOULD YOU F*CKING BELIEVE IT?????JARROD BOWEN WINS THE CONFERENCE LEAGUE FOR WEST HAM IN THE 90TH MINUTE!!!SCENNESSSSS IN PRAGUE!!! 🤯⚒️🇨🇿 pic.twitter.com/rHfJYHGLdj— Barstool Football (@StoolFootball) June 7, 2023 After a hollow first half, which left us with almost no action worth mentioning (Luka Jovic’s stoppage-time opener was voided due to offside after a VAR check), the second one was as sweet as candy. Despite Viola’s aggressiveness, it was West Ham who were rewarded with a chance to go one up after Biraghi knocked the ball away from Bowen. The VAR review showed us it was a definite handball in the box and Said Benrahma made sure West Ham fans went bonkers with his resolute shot from the spot for 1-0.What an achievement, @WestHam! ⚒️Your 2022/23 UEFA Europa Conference League winners 🏆 pic.twitter.com/x3cE5ZQzJl— Premier League (@premierleague) June 7, 2023 If you thought that was the moment the English side would brush aside their tonight’s rivals, you were so wrong. That lead stood for not more than four minutes as the Italians bounced back marvellously.Gonzales won the first contact in the box, thus finding Bonaventura, who demonstrated some superb skills with his low volley into the far corner to level the score, 1-1.OHHHHH SAÏD BENRAHMA!!!🟣 0-1 ⚒️ (62′) pic.twitter.com/Lg0cwdvQQU— West Ham United (@WestHam) June 7, 2023 What followed was a cautious battle in the middle before Amrabat fired decently from mid-range, but West Ham keeper somehow got a hold of it in the end.And then, when it seemed we were definitely going to extra time, just like in the Europa League final, Moyes’ wonder duo Paqueta-Bowen shone like never before. The Brazilian launched a perfect through-ball, and Bowen dashed into the box to put it past the kepeer for the first Hammers’ European trophy after 58 years.EUROPA CONFERENCE LEAGUE – FINALWest Ham – Fiorentina 2-1 (0-0)/Benrahma 62 pen, Bowen 89 – Bonaventura 66/
