Michail Antonio has silenced some critics with his recent performances, including his goal against Fulham.
West Ham beat Fulham 2-0 at Craven Cottage to stretch their winning run to four consecutive games.
And Antonio played a crucial role in the victory, taking his goal nicely to cap his display.
The 28-year-old was a nuisance for the Fulham defence all game after being given a rare starting role as a striker.
Michail Antonio doubles West Ham’s lead
With West Ham 1-0 up, Antonio ensured that the Irons had breathing space when he converted his chance.
Javier Hernandez flicked on a cross and Antonio found himself unmarked at the back post.
With impressive composure, he controlled the ball with his right foot and then used his left boot to score through the goalkeeper’s legs.
It was his second league goal of the campaign, having scored West Ham’s third in a recent 3-1 home win over Cardiff City.
In the absence of Marko Arnautovic and Lucas Perez, Antonio has really taken his chance and staked a claim for more first-team starts.
Below are a selection of tweets from West Ham fans, many of whom have been forced to eat humble pie.
