West Ham’s Michail Antonio determined to maintain scoring form in European pursuit

Jamaica striker Michail Antonio's confidence is riding high after his recent goal-scoring exploits, with the West Ham United forward netting his third goal in as many matches to secure a crucial 2-2 draw against English Premier League powerhouse Liverpool.

Antonio, who found the net with a powerful header in the final 15 minutes of the match, expressed his growing confidence following his seventh goal of the season. Reflecting on his recent form, he stated, "I've got three goals in the last three games, and I'm really building the confidence up and believe that, every game I go into, I'm going to score, so hopefully I can keep that run going."

The draw against Liverpool keeps West Ham United in contention for European qualification, with the team currently sitting in eighth place in the Premier League table with 49 points and three matches remaining. Antonio emphasized the importance of the hard-fought point against Liverpool and highlighted West Ham's resilience in the face of adversity.

We're still fighting for Europe

"It's a massive point, especially after going 2-1 down," Antonio remarked. "We're still fighting for Europe, and before the game, anybody would take a point against Liverpool. We keep believing we can get a goal, so when we went 2-1 down, we just kept pushing, made sure we didn't concede another and managed to equalize."

Jarrod Bowen, who scored West Ham's first goal of the match to equalize just before halftime, also played a crucial role in the team's performance. Bowen's goal marked his 16th in the Premier League this season, matching Paolo Di Canio's club record for most goals in a single season for West Ham.

Reflecting on Bowen's impact, Antonio praised his teammate's exceptional abilities, particularly his precision with his left foot. Antonio acknowledged Bowen's importance to the team's style of play and emphasized the winger's contribution to West Ham's success.

With their sights set on securing European qualification, Antonio and the West Ham squad remain focused on their upcoming fixtures. Despite the challenges ahead, Antonio's confidence and determination serve as valuable assets as the team continues its pursuit of success in the English Premier League.
