Bowen ready to party after last-gasp winner for West Ham

PRAGUE : Jarrod Bowen ensured the biggest game of his career had a fairytale finish as he snatched a 90th-minute winner to kick off a "crazy" party as West Ham United clinched their first major European trophy in 58 years.

A tense Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina at Prague's Eden Arena looked like it was heading to extra time when Bowen latched onto a through ball and then outpaced the defenders before firing into the net to secure a 2-1 win.

The forward said he had been primed and ready for one final chance when it came and the celebrations looked set to last long into the night.

"I’m so buzzing. We're just going to go mad I think. I'm not going to put a filter on it. I'm not going to give a responsible answer. This party tonight is going to be crazy," he told reporters.

"There was one more chance and we won it," he added to BT Sport.

"We had a dream, we haven't had the best season, myself included, but to give these fans this moment, I'm over the moon. Never (have I felt like this in my life). This is the biggest game of my career. The emotion, there was time for one more chance. I'm just so happy."

The winning goal, after Fiorentina had dominated possession for large portions of the game, sent West Ham manager David Moyes racing down the touchline in celebration.

"The minute Jarrod went through I was edging down the touchline; if there was anybody who was going to score it was going to be Jarrod," said Moyes, whose jubilation had the hallmarks of some of Jose Mourinho's exuberant celebrations.

"I couldn’t do the full Mourinho because I can’t slide on my knees and the grass was a bit dry, and I didn’t want to fall on my belly."
