English Premier League

West Ham 2 – 1 West Brom

Michail Antonio scored again as West Ham beat West Brom 2 – 1. Michail Antonio scored for the second successive game as West Ham edged struggling West Brom to move up to seventh in the Premier League.

The hosts took the lead on the stroke of half-time when Jarrod Bowen chested in Vladimir Coufal’s cross.

However, West Brom levelled soon after the restart through Matheus Pereira’s thunderous drive from distance.

Dara O’Shea blocked Manuel Lanzini’s goalbound shot but Antonio gave West Ham the win with a hooked finish.

From then on, West Ham looked comfortable without threatening to add to their lead as they claimed a third Premier League win in a row.

Defeat for West Brom, meanwhile, leaves them 19th, five points from safety.
