West Ham news LIVE: Reaction after Fiorentina final as fans clash with riot police

West Ham United players and staff will be recovering from the joy of winning their first major trophy for 43 years after beating Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League final in what proved to be a dramatic night on and off the pitch in Prague.

Jarrod Bowen’s 89th-minute goal gave the Hammers the most memorable of 2-1 wins, with celebrity supporters such as James Corden and Danny Dyer – whose daughter Dani is Bowen’s partner – celebrating the triumph. However, the match had earlier been marred when West Ham fans pelted Fiorentina captain Cristiano Biraghi with objects as he went to take a corner in the first half and left him bleeding from a gash in the back of his head.

Hammers supporters then later clashed with riot police in Prague after setting off flares in celebration of victory, as a scuffle broke out after police officers tried to confiscate a lit flare in the Old Town area of the city. Riot police stormed a group after they lit a second flare, with fans responding by pelting the officers with bottles and missiles.

Earlier in the day, Czech police said they had detained at least 16 Fiorentina fans after they attacked West Ham supporters outside a bar, with videos shared on social media showing chairs and fireworks being thrown.

West Ham fans line streets to toast Europa Conference League champions

21:48 , Jamie Braidwood

West Ham enjoyed a heroes’ welcome as fans lined the streets of east London to celebrate their Europa Conference League glory.

The Hammers won their first major trophy since the 1980 FA Cup, and a first European title since 1965, when they beat Italian side Fiorentina 2-1 in Prague on Wednesday night.

And their jubilant supporters, decked out in the famous claret and blue on a warm and sunny evening in the capital, packed the pavements as the Hammers paraded the silverware on an open-top bus.

The squad’s journey started at the site of their former home at Upton Park and finished at Stratford Town Hall, where they enjoyed a reception.

Only West Ham fans of a certain age will ever have seen their side celebrate success like this, with a similar parade being held after that 1965 European Cup Winners’ Cup victory, where the likes of Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters got the taste of winning trophies.

But the younger generation made the most of it, climbing on lamp posts and bus stops to get the best vantage point of their heroes while also letting off flares.

West Ham United fans clashed with riot police in Prague after setting off flares as they celebrated winning the Europa Conference League on Wednesday night.

Fans poured into the streets of the Czech capital following the Hammers’ victory over Fiorentina, with many already in the city centre after thousands of supporters travelled from the UK without tickets.

But a scuffle broke out after police officers tried to confiscate a lit flare as fans gathered in the Old Town area of the city.

Mass brawls, breathless hedonism and Jarrod Bowen: how West Ham gave me the night of my life

19:45 , Luke Baker

Our man Tom Peck was out in Prague and has written a lovely account of the joy, madness and disbelief surrounding the whole occasion for Indy Voices.

“If you happen to support West Ham United, it doesn’t feel inaccurate to say that out in the Prague suburbs, in a stadium that looks like a Premier Inn and is barely any bigger than the Tesco Extra over the road, everything changed,” writes Tom.

“It was not so much a football match as a makeover. It was like finding the boring old house you’ve lived in all your life has suddenly been given a glow up by the two Bowens: Jarrod and Laurence Llewellyn.

“If you happen to be anyone (well, almost anyone) who devotes a frankly unjustifiable amount of your time, money and emotional bandwidth to the fortunes of a football club, then you can easily go whole decades, lifetimes even, without ever knowing that this has always been what it’s all about: flying out to a European city, standing around in the sun and then coming back with a trophy.

“Winning something. Actually winning something. Not being promoted, or avoiding relegation, or securing qualification for this, that or the other. But getting to the very end of a competition and being the only team still in it. And then, in an exactly half-filled stadium, long after the other half have gone, raising up the prize.”

West Ham promise to take action against fans who threw objects onto Prague pitch

19:25 , Luke Baker

West Ham have condemned the behaviour of a section of their support after Fiorentina defender Cristiano Biraghi was left bleeding by an object thrown from the crowd during their Europa Conference League final victory.

The game was goalless in the 35th minute when Biraghi went over to take a corner from in front of the end of the Eden Arena where West Ham supporters were sitting, with the player struck by what appeared to be a vape pen as cups and other objects rained down on him. He required a head strapping in order to continue, after referee Carlos Del Cerro Grande had briefly called a halt to the game and a stadium announcement had issued a warning for fans to stop throwing things and respect the players and officials before the match could continue.

West Ham issued a statement promising to take action against anyone found to have committed an offence and ban them from attending matches at the London Stadium.

“West Ham United unreservedly condemn the behaviour of a small number of individuals who threw objects onto the pitch during tonight’s UEFA Europa Conference League final,” said the statement.

“These actions have no place in football, and do not in any way represent the values of our football club and the overwhelming majority of our supporters, who have behaved impeccably in Prague this week and throughout our last two seasons in European competition.

“We will work with the police and other stakeholders to review the incidents and act against anyone found guilty of an offence.

“In line with our zero-tolerance approach, anyone identified will have their details passed to the police and will be given an indefinite ban and therefore be unable to enter London Stadium and travel with the club. There is no place for this kind of behaviour at West Ham United.”

Declan Rice set to leave West Ham after Europa Conference League success

19:05 , Luke Baker

West Ham chairman David Sullivan has confirmed captain Declan Rice will be allowed to leave this summer and he expects to start receiving bids immediately.

The England midfielder said he did not know if he had played his last game for the club after leading them to Europa Conference League glory.

A 2-1 victory over Fiorentina in Wednesday night’s final saw him become only the third Hammers skipper to lift a major trophy, following Bobby Moore and Billy Bonds.

However, Sullivan admits a gentleman’s agreement means they will allow a player who still has two years remaining on his contract – one year plus an option – to leave.

Asked whether lifting the trophy in Prague was Rice’s last action as a West Ham player, Sullivan told talkSPORT: “I think it has to be. We promised him he could go.

“He set his heart on going and in due course he has to get on and we have to get a replacement.

“It is not something we wanted to happen. We offered him £200,000-a-week 18 months ago and he turned it down. You can’t keep a player who doesn’t want to be there.

“I think the offers will start to come today. Three or four clubs have shown interest but, out of respect to West Ham, while we’re still playing, you don’t make offers for players.”

West Ham boss David Moyes hands winner’s medal to his father

18:05 , Luke Baker

David Moyes handed his Europa Conference League winners’ medal to his father after ending West Ham’s 43-year wait for a trophy.

Jarrod Bowen’s dramatic last-minute goal sank Fiorentina 2-1 as the Hammers secured a first piece of silverware since 1980’s FA Cup, and a first European trophy since 1965, on a historic and emotional night in Prague.

Moyes’ dad, 87-year-old David Snr, has been on every step of West Ham’s European tour and joined his son on the pitch after the final whistle.

“He was the first one, I thought I should get it round his neck,” said the jubilant West Ham boss. “He’s watched a lot over the years and I hope he enjoyed it.”

‘More titles than Spurs’: Young fan in tears as West Ham secure Europa Conference League win

17:45 , Luke Baker

West Ham’s win caused plenty of emotion for their fans and one young supporter was left in tears by their victory.

He was still able to take a dig at the Hammers’ big rivals Tottenham though.

“I just can’t believe West Ham have won something, we’ve won more titles than Spurs,” he said.

His reaction won the praise of Twitter users, with one commenting: “What an amazing memory for him to have. Bless him.”

A thousand matches later and David Moyes finally has his crowning glory

17:25 , Luke Baker

There were two men running free in the Fiorentina half, writes Richard Jolly. First Jarrod Bowen, en route to winning West Ham United their first trophy in 43 years.

And then David Moyes, sprinting on to the Prague pitch in celebration, arms stretched out wide. It was a run that was 25 years in the making, a journey that took him from the Auto Windscreens Shield to the Europa Conference League.

Few clubs have waited longer for the emotional release of securing silverware. Few managers, either. It began in a derided knockout competition for Moyes, the Auto Windscreens where Preston North End, newly under a 34-year-old centre-back, faced Macclesfield in January 1998.

A quarter of a century later and, in game No.1,097 of a marathon managerial career, Moyes had a major honour he could call his own. He had said he credited Sir Alex Ferguson with the Community Shield his Manchester United claimed, perhaps thinking there would be further glory for him at Old Trafford.

There wasn’t. But if Moyes has long been destined to be remembered as the man miscast as Ferguson’s successor, he has other places in footballing history. The best Everton manager since Howard Kendall is in select company. Like Ron Greenwood, like John Lyall but like no one else, Moyes has won something with, and for, West Ham.

Violent clashes between West Ham and Fiorentina fans lead to arrests ahead of European final

17:05 , Luke Baker

Not only was there trouble after the game in Prague last night but also violence ahead of the fixture.

Czech police detained 16 people after violent clashes between West Ham and Fiorentina fans marred the build-up to the final.

A group of black-clad Fiorentina fans attacked Hammers supporters in a bar in central Prague on Wednesday afternoon, injuring three patrons, authorities said

Videos on social media showed fans setting off flares and throwing tables at the bar located just off Prague’s Old Town Square. A police officer was also attacked.

“Italy fans attacked West Ham fans in a bar on Rytirska street, injuring three,” Czech police said on Twitter. “A police officer was also attacked. We have restricted the personal liberty of 16 people.”

Witnesses claimed the Italians were armed with “chains and belt buckles” and fans of the Italian side are said to have thrown flares and firecrackers as they approached the West Ham supporters.

‘Best feeling I’ve ever had’: Jarrod Bowen reacts to West Ham’s ‘surreal’ win against Fiorentina

16:45 , Luke Baker

Jarrod Bowen has described West Ham winning the Europa Conference League as the “best moment of [his] career.”

The 26-year-old scored the goal which secured the club’s first piece of silverware since the 1980 FA Cup and their first European trophy since 1965.

Bowen slotted past Pietro Terracciano to earn the Hammers a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina in Prague. “I can’t sum up... it’s the best feeling I’ve ever had in my career,” Bowen told a post-match press conference.

West Ham end trophy drought in most dramatic style as Jarrod Bowen plays the hero

16:20 , Luke Baker

Jarrod Bowen’s last-minute winner saw West Ham United end their 43-year wait for a trophy with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League final.

The Hammers won their first piece of silverware since 1980’s FA Cup, and a first European trophy since 1965, on a historic and emotional night in Prague.

Yes, it may be only Europe’s third-tier competition, the one treated as an unwanted distraction by Tottenham, among others, in its inaugural form last season. But this is West Ham. The West Ham who routinely see relegation as an occupational hazard. The West Ham who made a song and dance of leaving their old stadium and an almighty hash of moving into the new one. The West Ham who had to go begging to their former manager to save them from the drop, 18 months after they got rid of him when he had done just that.

Just nine weeks ago that same manager watched as the away fans unfurled a “Moyes Out” banner during a scratchy 1-0 win over Fulham, which likely saved his job. Now David Moyes has written his name in West Ham folklore, joining Ron Greenwood and John Lyall as trophy-winning Hammers managers. A place in next season’s Europa League means the club has qualified for Europe three campaigns in a row, for the first time.

The playing squad and coaching staff will parade the club’s first major trophy since 1980 on an open-top bus through the streets of east London.

The parade will leave the Hammers’ old home at Upton Park at 7pm and travel to a reception at Stratford Town Hall at about 8pm.

It will start at the junction of Green Street and Barking Road, adjacent to the Boleyn Pub and The Champions Statue, before proceeding west along Barking Road, turn right on to Greengate Street, and continue along the A112 past Plaistow Park, Plaistow Station and Stratford Park, before ending its journey on West Ham Lane, outside the Old Town Hall in Stratford.

West Ham fans leave Fiorentina player bleeding after being hit by objects thrown from crowd

15:40 , Luke Baker

West Ham United fans left a Fiorentina player bleeding from the back of his head after they pelted him with objects thrown from the crowd during the Europa Conference League final.

Cristiano Biraghi was struck on the head by something thrown from the West Ham end as he went to take a corner in the first half. He appeared to be pelted with cups of beer and a vape pen, while the assistant referee also looked to have been struck.

Play was temporarily stopped as Biraghi received treatment from the physios with blood pouring from the back of his head, although he was able to continue playing with a purple bandage around his head.

West Ham players came over to the stands to implore their fans to behave and a message over the PA system urged supporters to stop throwing objects onto the pitch before play resumed.

West Ham chairman confirms likely Declan Rice departure

15:01 , Luke Baker

Speaking of Declan Rice’s potential transfer, West Ham chairman David Sullivan has been speaking about the situation this morning. He sounds pretty resigned to letting the talisman leave, after making a gentleman’s agreement to listen to offers from other clubs, even though he still has one year and another option year remaining on his contract.

Asked whether lifting the trophy in Prague was Rice’s last action as a West Ham player, Sullivan told talkSPORT: “I think it has to be. We promised him he could go.

“He set his heart on going and in due course he has to get on and we have to get a replacement.

A parting gift from Declan Rice

14:40 , Luke Baker

Declan Rice undoubtedly has a genuine connection with West Ham’s fans, having come through their academy to captain the team and become just the third skipper in the club’s history to lift a trophy.

Hammers supporters were chanting “one more year” to the midfielder, amid speculation he will leave for a bigger club this summer. Was the Europa Conference League trophy a parting gift from Rice?

West Ham skipper Declan Rice has addressed transfer rumours after his club’s historic Europa Conference League victory over Fiorentina.

It comes after Rice became only the club’s third captain, after Bobby Moore and Billy Bonds, to lift a trophy in their 128-year history after the 2-1 victory in Prague.

“There is interest from other clubs, that’s out there, but ultimately I’ve still got two years left at West Ham,” Rice said. “Let’s wait and see.”
