West Ham winger Michail Antonio: Win and clean sheet just perfect

West Ham winger Michail Antonio was delighted with their clean sheet for victory at Crystal Palace.

The Hammers were on a run of five Premier League games without victory, but ended that sequence thanks to Manuel Lanzini's fine early goal and a penalty miss from Palace's Christian Benteke in first half stoppage time.

Antonio told whufc.com: "We knew it [the win] was coming – we just needed to make sure we gelled together and kept a clean sheet because we always believe we will score goals.

“It's nice to get that clean sheet and a win, so onwards and upwards.

“We managed to keep the lead even though we had ten men for the last 15 minutes. The boys are buzzing and can't wait for the next game."
