Overwhelmed Zouma
The Hammers had to dig deep to lift their first piece of major silverware in 43 years. They overcame the disappointment of Giacomo Bonaventura’s swift equaliser following Saïd Benrahma’s opener to score a late, late winner.
Jarrod Bowen was the man who clinched victory in the final minute of the regulation 90, and Zouma felt the triumph was testament to the team’s mentality.
Overwhelmed by team mentality
Zouma explained: “In a final everything is about details. You have to be strong mentally in these games and I think that’s how we were. The fans helped us as well, and scoring in the 90th minute, the feeling was even better.
“The manager deserves it. He’s worked hard and built a strong team.
“You can see on the pitch we’re like a family all fighting for each other and it’s deserved for everybody.
“Everybody gave their all and we just want to celebrate.”
