​West Ham forward Antonio laments missed hat-trick opportunity against Burnley

West Ham United forward Michail Antonio is disappointed he could not get a hat trick against Burnley on Monday.

The Hammers welcomed Antonio back into the starting lineup, and he showed his best form with a quickfire double.

West Ham were behind before Antonio's intervention, and went on to win the game 2-1.

"I'm buzzing to be fair," he said after scoring his eighth and ninth goals of the season, per the club website.

"It's been a great season. I'm over the moon. I'm a bit disappointed not to get a hat-trick, I had chances.

"It wasn't my day to get the hat-trick, but I got my two and I can't be greedy."

"I trained with the boys all week so I was always in contention," he explained regarding his return after a hamstring problem.

"I didn't know if I'd start or not, but I did, managed to get my two goals and should have had more.

"I'll keep moving on to the next game and hopefully score more goals."
