Goalscorer Michail Antonio frustrated in West Ham defeat

Michail Antonio took no pleasure after scoring in West Ham's defeat to Bournemouth.

Antonio was disappointed to end up on the losing team – especially after they had clawed it back to 2-2 with seven minutes left to play – and said the Londoners should have closed the game out better.

“It was a dramatic game, but a frustrating one for us," Antonio admitted. “It was end-to-end stuff and we should have stayed a bit more composed when we went into the lead – especially as we scored straight after they missed their pen.

“Bournemouth kept pressing us and working hard. They desperately need the points right now and they showed some grit and some fight.

“The good thing in football is you always get the chance to put it right, so we'll go again at home against Leicester and hopefully we can get the three points then."

He added: “It's all about winning games, so it's not the feeling I wanted. I can't really remember the goal to be honest. I just remember Sofiane passing me the ball, taking it on my left and it going into the net."
