West Ham star forward and potential Jamaica international, Michail Antonio, has declared he is hungry for goals following his return to the team’s line-up on Monday.
The burly forward returned in fine style, banging in two goals against Burnley, which gave the Hammers much-needed impetus in the race for the fourth and final Champions League spot.
Antonio’s power upfront will no doubt give the team renewed confidence heading into the final weeks of the season, and the forward himself admits he is feeling in good shape and looking to make up for the lost time.
"I trained with the boys all week so I was always in contention," Antonio told the club’s official website.
"I didn't know if I'd start or not, but I did, managed to get my two goals, and should have had more,” he added.
"I'll keep moving on to the next game and hopefully score more goals."
Antonio did, however, miss out on the perfect opportunity to secure a hat-trick after being gifted a golden chance to make it three when a Pablo Fornals shot fell to him just yards from goal, but the striker got the ball stuck under his feet with the goal gaping.
"It wasn't my day to get the hat-trick, but I got my two, and I can't be greedy."
