Bitter Fiorentina president labels West Ham 'ANIMALS' after Luka Jovic broke his nose and Cristiano Biraghi was left bleeding by beer cup through from the stands during Europa Conference League final loss

Fiorentina president Rocco Commisso has labelled West Ham as 'animals' after his team lost the Europa Conference League final.

Jarrod Bowen's last-minute goal earned the Hammers a 2-1 win in Prague, their first major piece of silverware since 1980 and first European success since 1965.

But there was bitterness on the Fiorentina side at the manner of their loss, with Commisso unhappy at Spanish referee Carlos del Cerro Grande.

Striker Luka Jovic had his nose broken and had to be replaced at half-time, having earlier seen a goal disallowed for offside.
