Jamaican striker Michail Antonio nets goal for West Ham despite disappointing defeat
LONDON, United Kingdom — A goal from Jamaican striker Michail Antonio was not enough to save West Ham from an embarrassing late-game defeat in their Premier League matchup against Newcastle on Saturday.
Antonio, who was returning from an injury, scored in the 21st minute to put West Ham in the lead. The striker reportedly took advantage of a weak Newcastle defence line to put the ball in the back of the net from 12 yards out.
However, Newcastle, who were down 3-1 deep into the second half, put on an impressive fight-back to end the game with a 4-3 victory.
