West Ham's Europa Conference League-winning stars stepped into the photo booth to pose with their trophy after the final whistle on Wednesday evening. 

Fresh from beating Fiorentina 2-1 at the Fortuna Stadium in Prague, the players revelled in showing off their achievement as they sought to capture a moment in history. 

Jarrod Bowen looked particularly pleased to have been handed the Man of the Match award, after the England international scored the match-winning goal on the stroke of the 90th minute. 

Fiorentina's pacey dominance had held West Ham back for much of the final, but the east London side were the first to break the deadlock when Said Benrahma scored from the spot in the second half. 

Just five minutes later, Giacomo Bonaventura levelled proceedings with a gracefully-struck shot that had Alphonse Areola beaten.

But victory in the Czech capital saw the Irons break their 58-year duck in Europe in spectacular fashion and provide a pitch-perfect send-off for outgoing captain Declan Rice. 

Just hours into their newly-minted status as European champions - and before the all-nighter and raucous open-top bus parade - the men who made a difference in the final got to grips with the latest addition to West Ham's trophy cabinet.
