West Ham and Jamaica forward, Michael Antonio, has backed the team to score an away win against German club Eintracht Frankfurt, in the UEFA Europa League next week, despite losing the first leg of the semi-final tie in London.
After the team trailed to the German outfit early on, it was Antonio who restored parity when he scored for the first time since early March. Eintracht, however, went back in front through Japanese international Daichi Kamada and went on to hold on for a valuable away win.
Despite losing the first leg at home, Antonio has backed the East London team to get a result on the road, which could see the team secure a spot in the final.
“Down but nowhere near out. Still a lot of football to be played, we’re getting that W next week. ⚒ #COYI,” Antonio posted via social media platform Twitter.
West Ham will travel to Deutsche Bank Park next Thursday, hoping to overturn the first-leg deficit. The goal was the second for Antonio in the competition this season.
