How West Ham's Europa Conference League win affects Newcastle and next Champions League race

West Ham will be the Premier League's eighth entrant into European competitions next season following their UEFA Europa Conference League triumph. David Moyes' side lifted the trophy at the Fortuna Arena in Prague on Wednesday night following a 2-1 victory over Serie A side Fiorentina.

The Hammers took the lead from the penalty spot just after the hour mark, with Said Benrahma dispatching the spot-kick after a VAR review penalised Cristiano Biraghi for handball. However, the lead would only last five minutes as Giacomo Bonaventura pulled Fiorentina level.

The final looked to be heading for extra-time until Lucas Paqueta released Jarrod Bowen to run in on goal in the final minute of regulation time. The England international buried his effort beyond Pietro Terracciano to spark scenes of wild jubilation among the West Ham supporters in the stadium.
