The winger raced through to score in the 90th minute to secure West Ham's first trophy since 1980 and second-ever European cup
game as a manager. The Scot was tipped to leave as recently as April and some reports suggested his future hinged on Wednesday’s result. It’s safe to say he’ll be sticking around for the foreseeable after this. There might even be calls for a statue outside the London Stadium.
It had looked as though West Ham had popped their own bubbles. Said Benrahma put them in front just past the hour mark with a confidently taken penalty awarded after a VAR check, but parity was quickly restored when Giacomo Bonaventura steered Fiorentina level. But then Bowen struck, in an instant securing his place in West Ham folklore. Perhaps more than anyone else, he epitomises West Ham’s journey under Moyes.
Most of them congregated in Uefa’s designated fan zone at the leafy Letna Park in the hours before game. There was a distinct Fyre Festival feel to it all, as fans hopped athletically away from the various puddles that had pooled on the sandy surface overnight. But everyone seemed to enjoy themselves anyway, mustering polite applause when Chesney Hawkes, the headliner of Hammerfest, morphed into Vanilla Ice and performed “Rice, Rice baby”.
Others were pocketed in and around Old Town Square, which is where some fans and a policeman were targeted by thugs donned in black clothes and armed with the hooligans’ toolkit of chains, flares and chairs. Czech police said that “Italy fans attacked West Ham fans in a bar” and confirmed that 16 people had been detained for their part in the disorder.
