Michail Antonio says it's important West Ham build momentum after the international break with a run of results. Upcoming fixtures against the likes of Burnley, Crystal Palace and Fulham will be vital to ensuring we stay in the mix, but if they don't go our way we could be out of the race come Christmas. West Ham's last European final had been in the 1975-76 Cup Winners' Cup when they lost 4-2 to Anderlecht. Michail Antonio has got a small injury which is not serious but "it will probably keep him out for a couple of weeks". Jarrod Bowen should be available for selection but Moyes will make a decision tomorrow. West Ham have a "busy schedule" between now and the end of the year: "It's going to be really difficult. I wish someone would look at the scheduling. We're thrilled to be in Europe, we want to compete in the Premier League, and we want to go far in the domestic cups. To do that, you're going to have a very busy schedule."

And it's normally at this stage of a season when a club can really define expectations of where they should be by the time May comes around.

We can look forward to the next game and still want to win it but it’s not about chasing, it’s now about going out there and doing the right things and hopefully getting another win."

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. Moore captained West Ham to the 1965 European Cup Winners' Cup and Bonds led them to the FA Cup in 1975 and 1980. They made their chances count in the second half, though, as the 22-year-old Mbeumo seized his first opportunity after the restart, before his looping cross allowed Toney to put the game beyond West Ham. David Moyes has been speaking to the media before West Ham's Premier League game against Burnley on Saturday. On Saturday's game at Burnley, Antonio added: "It's a big game for us. We started off well before the first two breaks and then last break didn’t have the best of runs.

Bob: It’s becoming an increasingly unfortunate pattern, we play well enough (at times) but still can’t win a game! Barring a miracle, I’m beginning to doubt if we can stay up. West Ham’s winner was assisted by a Mohammed Kudus cross – they’ve scored more cross-assisted goals than any other side in the Premier League this season (8). Bowen timed his run to perfection as Lucas Paqueta slid a superb pass through the Fiorentina defence. Italiano's free-flowing side are the top scorers in the Conference League with 36 goals, at an average of just over two-and-a-half per match. Italiano also deploys a high defensive line in a bid to squeeze the opposition and control the tempo of the match while dominating possession.

And defender Kurt Zouma was relieved not to have been penalised for a handball in the area, with the video assistant referee deciding not to overturn Slovakian referee Ivan Kruzliak's non-penalty call. 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. They lost in the European Cup final to Real Madrid in 1957 and won the inaugural Cup Winners' Cup in 1961 by beating Rangers 4-1 on aggregate in the final. Their last appearance in a European final was a defeat by fierce rivals Juventus in the 1990 UEFA Cup final. Burnley could become only the second side in English league history to lose their first seven at home from the start of a campaign, after Newport County in the 1970-71 Fourth Division.I don't have any complaints at all, we weren't really at it from the start," said West Ham boss Moyes.
