West Ham United were beaten 3-2 by Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
West Ham United star Michail Antonio has admitted to the club’s official website that he feels embarrassed by the loss to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Hammers travelled to White Hart Lane on Saturday afternoon looking to return to winning ways after a disappointing start to the season.
They looked to be on course for a much-needed win as well, after midfielder Manuel Lanzini had put them 2-1 up with a second-half penalty.
However, two late goals from Harry Kane ended up breaking West Ham hearts and Antonio admits he was left feeling embarrassed by the final result.
“It was one of those games where we were in the lead and stupid mistakes have ended up with us losing,” he told the club’s official website.
“I feel embarrassed because we know the importance of this game to the fans. If we’d held on, we’d have got a good win for the team, moved up the table and moved on, but instead, we made mistakes.”
The result is likely to hurt Antonio even more when he realises the dangerous position it leaves West Ham in the league.
They are now 17th in the table with just 11 points from their first 11 games, which means the Hammers are just a point ahead of Hull City in the final relegation spot.
It makes relegation a real possibility even at this early stage of the campaign and West Ham will need to start picking up wins sooner rather than later.
