# Virals: Michail Antonio nets wondergoal on international duty

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/11/16/virals-west-ham-reportedly-set-their-sights-on-hellas-verona-duo/) centre-forward Michail Antonio has enjoyed an international break to remember.

The 31-year-old scored a superb solo goal against El Salvador to [get off the mark](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/michail-antonio/nationalmannschaft/spieler/104124/verein_id/3671) for Jamaica on Saturday night.

Overnight, Antonio has been at it again, this time with a [sensational long-range effort](https://twitter.com/garytaphouse/status/1460741243789586436) finding the back of the USA net.

Antonio now has two goals in three caps for the Caribbean nation and the crucial point kept Jamaica in sixth in the [CONCACAF World Cup qualifying](https://www.concacaf.com/en/world-cup-qualifying-men/schedule-results-world-cup-qualifying-men/) standings.

So far this season the talismanic Iron has [scored seven times and provided four assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/michail-antonio/leistungsdaten/spieler/104124) in 13 appearances for David Moyes’ side.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Wow.

We are all used to seeing the [powerful](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/69517/Show/Michail-Antonio) ace shrug off the presence of defenders before finishing with aplomb. But, seeing a 25-yard screamer is a new side to Antonio.

Whilst many Hammers will be delighted to see their [£10.8million man](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/michail-antonio/marktwertverlauf/spieler/104124) finally flourishing on the international stage, there will be those who simply hope there are no ill effects from a midweek 90 minutes.

Injury-prone and crucial to the Irons, Moyes will no doubt be keeping a close eye on how the London-born star recovers ahead of a [trip to Wolves](https://www.whufc.com/fixtures/first-team/fixtures-and-results).
