‘I just like scoring against Tottenham’, says West Ham striker Antonio
West Ham United striker, Michail Antonio, has admitted to his surprise at scoring against Tottenham in the Premier League.
The centre-forward notched the only goal of the game to give the Hammers all three points on Sunday.
Antonio netted from a set-piece, where his job was to block Harry Kane, not score himself.
“To be fair, I wasn’t really there to score!” he told the club’s website.
“I was kind of there just to block Harry [Kane], but the ball’s come my way, and obviously being the poacher that I am, I stuck my foot out!
