West Ham win Conference League in blood, sweat and tears final

West Ham won the Conference League on Wednesday after beating Fiorentina 2-1 in Prague, thus succeeding Mourinho's AS Roma who won the first edition of the competition.

This was the second European title in the history of the hammers, after winning the now defunct Cup Winners' Cup in the 1964/65 season.

In a goalless first half, but marked by moments of enormous tension, Biraghi had to be assisted, after being hit in the head, and even bleeding from the head, as a result of a rain of objects coming from one of the West supporters' stands Ham.

In the second half, Benrahma scored a goalless penalty after 62 minutes. The answer came five minutes later, with a cross from Giacomo Bonaventura.

When you could already smell extra time, behold, Bowen appeared, following a deadly counterattack, giving the final stab.
