Not only has Michail Antonio received iconic status for so often being West Ham‘s match-winner, but the powerful striker has also been earning praise for his unstoppable power.
During the 2-1 victory over West Brom on Tuesday night, with Antonio grabbing the winner, the 30-year-old took it upon himself to take the attack to the visitors as he went on a run from his own half.
In the solo endeavour, the forward’s pace and strength saw Matheus Pereira in particular feeling the force as the Baggies either fell away or fell off him before the Hammers forward eventually won a free-kick for his efforts.

It’s perhaps no surprise to any hardened Antonio fan to see such swashbuckling ventures – having been converted numerous times from differing positions, the versatile ace has numerous facets to his all-round game.
Plenty of the Irons faithful have reacted to the clip reposted on Twitter and were left in awe of their talismanic frontman, who one fan hailed as a ‘monster’ for his powerful efforts…
