West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to react after the club posted a tweet about Michail Antonio before the 2-0 win over Leeds.
The tweet in question revealed that West Ham’s No.30 had been involved in 19 goals in his last 22 Premier League starts before yesterday’s win.
Antonio has scored 15 goals in that time, while also registering four assists for the Irons – that is, quite simply, stunning from the 30-year-old.
He has emerged as a talisman for David Moyes, seeing off competition from the £45 million Sebastien Haller and others to cement his place in the team.
His form of late has been remarkable, as it seemed he would be a right-back for the club a few years ago.

With seven goals in 18 Premier League appearances this season, the London-born forward seems to be getting better with age.
It’s just a shame that he can be prone to injuries at times, or he would arguably be even more prolific in front of goal.
