West Ham fans will remember Pablo Fornals’ goal for a lifetime after it secured their place in the Europa Conference League final. The game was a mix of emotions, with moments of grit, bravery, and tedium. However, Fornals’ goal in injury time sparked delirium in the away end, with David Moyes and the rest of the visiting dug-out sprinting onto the pitch to celebrate. Unfortunately, ugly scenes followed when a group of Hammers supporters were attacked by AZ Alkmaar ultras. Riot police had to intervene, but thankfully, the situation was quickly defused. West Ham’s victory avenged last season’s Europa League semi-final heartbreak against Eintracht Frankfurt. The club now has the opportunity to etch their name into history and win their first major European trophy since Bobby Moore lifted the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1965.
