Fiorentina President Slams West Ham In Bitter Rant

Fiorentina president Rocco Commisso has branded West Ham as “animals” following the Hammers’ 2-1 victory in the Europa Conference League final.

Jarrod Bowen scored a late winner for the Premier League club after Said Benrahma’s penalty was ruled out by Giacomo Bonaventura’s strike, earning David Moyes’ side their first major trophy in 43 years.

Much of the first-half analysis was about the behaviour of the West Ham fans, who decided to throw plastic cups at Cristiano Biraghi every time he went over to take a corner from the right-hand side.

The Fiorentina captain was left bleeding after being struck in the head, which forced play to be stopped so he could receive treatment.

And Commisso was unhappy with Spanish referee Carlos del Cerro Grande after Luka Jovic was forced off at half-time with a broken nose. The Serbian also had a goal ruled out for an extremely marginal offside.
