On a night when West Ham United showed their support for Michail Antonio, it was two of the No9’s long-time teammates who fired the Irons to a vital Premier League win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
While Antonio recovers in hospital from surgery on a lower limb fracture suffered in a road traffic accident on Saturday, his fellow UEFA Europa Conference League heroes Tomáš Souček and Jarrod Bowen got the goals in a 2-1 victory at London Stadium. In between, Matt Doherty scored for Wolves, but the Hammers showed the resolve and desire required to secure all three points.
Both players celebrated their second-half goals by paying tribute to Antonio, while the whole squad warmed-up and walked out in shirts bearing the striker’s name and number, and the Claret and Blue Army repeatedly sang his name, too.
