After 25 years in management, West Ham United manager David Moyes finally has a major trophy to his name.
His West Ham United team beat Fiorentina 2-1 in the final of this season's UEFA Europa Conference League securing the club's first European trophy since 1965.
Despite the match being overshadowed by crowd trouble from a minority of West Ham fans, the Premier League outfit took the lead through a Said Benrahma penalty in the 62nd minute after a handball from Fiorentina captain Cristiano Biraghi.
West Ham's lead only lasted five minutes however after a composed finish into the far corner of Alphonse Areola's goal from Giacomo Bonaventura.
The momentum swung Fiorentina's way with the equaliser and it looked like the game would be heading to extra time with West Ham holding on in the closing stages.
But then there was drama in the final minute. A wonderful weighted pass from Lucas Paqueta found Jarrod Bowen's perfectly timed run who was able to slot the ball into the Fiorentina net.
With chaos engulfing the West Ham fans inside the Eden Arena in Prague following Bowen's finish, manager David Moyes sprinted down the touchline realising that finally a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
Not only has he brought silverware to West Ham, but he has finally won a trophy during a managerial career full of ups and downs.
In addition to this personal success for Moyes, he now becomes just the seventh Scottish manager to win a European trophy after Sir Matt Busby, Jock Stein, William Waddell, Bill Shankly, George Graham and Sir Alex Ferguson.
