West Ham charged by UEFA as Fiorentina ace left bloodied in cup final victory
West Ham fans line streets to toast Europa Conference League champions
West Ham have been charged with two separate offences following their victory in the Europa Conference League final on Wednesday night in Prague. Supporters of the Premier League outfit came under fire from all around Europe after a fan threw an object onto the pitch that struck Cristiano Biraghi in the head and led to him needing medical treatment.
It was a night to remember for West Ham supporters after their side lifted their first European trophy in 58 years thanks to a late winner from Jarrod Bowen in their 2-1 victory over Fiorentina, following goals from Said Benhrama and Giacomo Bonaventura.
Though the Hammers have not left the Fortuna Arena flawlessly, with UEFA recently announcing that they are charging the club with two separate offences. Unsurprisingly, the London side were charged with throwing objects (Art 16 2 b) due to the incident involving Biraghi that saw him have to wear a purple headband for the remainder of the final.
They were also charged with the invasion of play (Art 16 2 a). Fiorentina have also been charged with two different offences, with throwing objects similarly being addressed by UEFA.
