- 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
After waiting 43 years to stop those bubbles fading and dying, West Ham could not have timed it better. There were 90 minutes on the clock at the Eden Arena when Jarrod Bowen’s shot slithered past Pietro Terracciano and, after 1,097 games of management, absolutely nothing was going to stop David Moyes from enjoying his crowning moment.
Fortune wasn’t hiding any more. Off Moyes went, charging down the touchline, only stopping when he was in front of the fans celebrating behind the Fiorentina goal. He stood there with his arms aloft and drank in the adulation.
