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

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.
