Gary Lineker has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United losing to David Moyes’s West Ham United at Elland Road in the Premier League today.

Leeds have suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of West Ham at home in the Premier League this afternoon.

The West Yorkshire club took the lead in the 19th minute through Brazilian winger Raphinha.

An own goal form Junior Firpo midway through the second half saw the Hammers restore parity.

Then in the 90th minute, West Ham striker Michail Antonio scored the winner.

Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Lineker was following the match, and he has praised Antonio for his late goal.

Antonio has developed into a superb striker and is banging in the goals for fun for West Ham at the moment.

The Jamaica international is not a ‘natural’ striker and was playing as a winger and right-back not so long ago.

However, the West Ham no.9 is a proper striker now.

Antonio has scored five goals and given three assists in five Premier League matches and has scored one goal in one Europa League game for the Hammers so far this season.
