Ten great pictures of the Hammers' special night.The victory also seals a place in next season's Europa League and means European football for the third year running for the first time in the club's history. Moore captained West Ham to the 1965 European Cup Winners' Cup and Bonds led them to the FA Cup in 19.
It means captain Declan Rice, in probably his final game for the club, emulated club greats Bobby Moore and Billy Bonds by leading the club to glory.
The England man ran free, steadied himself, then beat Pietro Terracciano with a calm finish to thrill the Hammers fans - who were far greater in number than the 5,000 tickets they were allotted - and send manager David Moyes running down the touchline to celebrate the first major silverware of his career.

It was a testy and sometimes bad tempered game - and at one point it got downright ugly as Fiorentina captain Cristiano Biraghi was struck by a plastic bottle thrown from the West Ham section.
