As a result, Hammers boss David Moyes didn’t have a centre-forward to bring off the bench against either Spurs or Chelsea.

Michail Antonio is always a dangerous option for the Scot but the 32-year-old can’t do everything on his own.

It’s great to see Scamacca back. Hopefully the goals now start flowing on a consistent basis for the Italian.
