News about Michail Antonio

Liverpool's Premier League title ambitions took another serious dent as they were held to a 2-2 draw at West Ham on Saturday lunchtime. Jurgen Klopp took the decision to start Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez on the bench and they looked listless as the Hammers led at half-time thanks to the impressive Jarrod Bowen.  The Reds turned the contest around thanks to Andrew Robertson's equaliser, before a fortunate own goal, credited to keeper Alphonse Areola, put them in front.  Michail Antonio headed West Ham level to leave Liverpool trailing Arsenal and Manchester City . Here's Mail Sport's player ratings from the game at the London Stadium.

Jurgen Klopp's long Liverpool farewell is in danger of turning sour after a touchline row with Mohamed Salah during a 2-2 draw at West Ham which hammered another dent into their fading title hopes. Salah, surprisingly left out of the starting line-up, was summoned from the bench by Klopp in the 79th minute after Michail Antonio equalised for West Ham. The Egypt striker had a heated exchange with his manager with fellow substitute Darwin Nunez eventually stepping in to placate his team-mate.

Michail Antonio (left) has hit out at Roy Keane's (right) 'dinosaur mentality' after the Manchester United legend criticised players who host podcasts. The West Ham striker has co-hosted the BBC Sounds Footballer's Football podcast since 2021 along with Callum Wilson, and more recently, Fulham captain Tom Cairney. Keane, without mentioning any names, told the Stick to Football podcast: 'I think that [podcasts] can be a distraction for a player, particularly if you're on the back of a defeat, and you're in the next day and everyone is having a bit of a laugh.' Antonio, in his latest podcast with Cairney, has swiped back at the Manchester United legend and explained the advantages of hosting them.

Crystal Palace have poked fun at Nottingham Forest's statement following their win over West Ham. Palace won 5-2 at home to Palace having established a four-goal lead by the 20th minute. After the game Palace couldn't resist poking fun at Forest, who had earlier issued a statement slamming 'poor decisions' in their 2-0 loss to Everton. 

The Hammers came up short in their bid to pull off the almost impossible against the newly-crowned Bundesliga champions, drawing 1-1 on the night but losing 3-1 on aggregate. Antonio had given the hosts the lead to give them hope in the game, but they were unable to breach Xabi Alonso's side's defences again and Jeremie Frimpong netted minutes from time to put the tie to bed. The Premier League side no less can be proud of their efforts, but Antonio chose to focus on one area of the game that was beyond his control in his post-match interview.

KATHRYN BATTE AT THE LONDON STADIUM: There have been a collection of memorable and special moments during David Moyes' European run with West Ham. When Michail Antonio put his side 1-0 ahead in the 13th minute, it appeared that another may be on the cards. But Bayer Leverkusen did what they have done all season. They are the masters of late goals and as West Ham tired, the German champions pounced - with Jeremie Frimpong equalising at the death. There is a reason Xabi Alonso's side are now 44 games unbeaten this season. It is a phenomenal achievement and they will be the favourites to go on to win this competition.

West Ham's assistant manager Billy McKinlay was sent off after furiously clashing with Bayer Leverkusen coaching staff during Thursday's Europa League clash at the London Stadium.

Roy Keane has made clear his views on active athletes doing their own podcasts - and unsurprisingly it wouldn't be his cup of tea. Premier League stars Callum Wilson of Newcastle and Michail Antonio of West Ham hosts their own podcast on the BBC.  The subject was discussed on the latest episode of Stick to Football following the extraordinary success of the 'New Heights' podcast fronted by NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce.

Following their 4-3 loss at Newcastle, Kalvin Phillips retaliated angrily to being called 'useless' by a West Ham fan. He flashed his middle finger as he boarded the team bus. David Moyes, the Hammers' manager, admitted that his decision to call on Phillips despite his team's 3-1 win at St James' Park "did not work." Michail Antonio was replaced by the Manchester City loanee after 21 minutes of playing. When the incident occurred, the midfielder, who is on loan at West Ham from Manchester City, was boarding the coach back from Newcastle.

CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES' PARK: David Moyes admits he was wrong to bring on Kalvin Phillips, with West Ham leading 3-1 at Newcastle, but he refused to criticize the replacement after the 4-3 loss. When the Manchester City loanee replaced Michail Antonio, there were 21 minutes to play. He forfeited a penalty for a foul on Anthony Gordon in the 77th minute, from which Alexander Isak scored, but Harvey Barnes converted him for the goal that gave the home team's victory in the 90th minute. After that, Moyes tried to explain his change.

The Premier League's second fiddle to the enthralling drama in the FA Cup, but that didn't deter a fair amount of events. Luton and Nottingham Forest shared the spoils in their relegation six-pointer at Kenilworth Road on Saturday, while Burnley ekeduton won by a slim match against a struggling Brentford side. However, Ange Postecoglou's men put in a dismal show and were defeated by Fulham 3-0, the biggest shock of the weekend.

Despite celebrating the north London club's success this season, Michail Antonio has jokingly hit Arsenal fans and has called them delusional. Arsenal fans have a lot to celebrate right now, with their team having won eight league games on the bounce, scoring a whopping 33 goals in the process, and seeing them rise to the top of the Premier League standings. With just two points separating Liverpool, Manchester City, and the north London club, we're likely to see what could be one of the most exciting conclusions to a Premier League championship match in a long time.

England is widely regarded as one of the top countries for young footballing talent due to their outstanding, world-class youth clubs and facilities. They're all helping them in finding hidden gems and turning them into football household names, which they're starting from. However, at the rate and pace that these youngsters are being taught and introduced to the senior team, it is impossible for them to break into the England national team. Here are the top footballers to play for England at the youth level before heading to their national football team.

KATHYRN BATTE AT THE LONDON STADIUM: David Moyes may have been a little sick of the handball rule. Two goals were disallowed against Aston Villa, with two penalties not given against Burnley and Freiburg last week. Officials couldn't determine if the ball had struck Tomas Soucek's arm before it bounced off Jarrod Bowen and into the net for what seemed to be a late West Ham winner for the longest VAR check in Premier League history.

The Hammers look for a home three points in a European qualification match as they look for a home three point. Follow Mail Sport's live blog of West Ham's Premier League match against Aston Villa.

A pair of Premier League players have talked openly about their time at Anfield, with Liverpool's roaring home support making a huge difference. Jurgen Klopp's Reds have always had a dominant home track, as they are bolstered by their followers on Merseyside, one of football's most legendary grounds. However, West Ham's Michail Antonio and Fulham's Tom Cairney talked on a recent podcast about their time at Anfield with Liverpool supporters.

Michail Antonio, a striker for West Ham, has apologised to Liverpool and their followers for making a 'wild' forecast earlier in the season. Antonio was sarcastic about his team's chances ahead of their match with the Reds at Anfield in September. He not only predicted that his team would defeat Jurgen Klopp's guys on the day but that they would finish atop them in the Premier League table, but also that they would continue to finish second.

On Saturday, frust encapsulated just about every facet of West Ham. In the space of three minutes, Kalvin Phillips collected two needless yellow cards. As Michail Antonio yelled in agony after losing a rare scoring chance, he collapsed in agony. After James Ward-Prowse had given the ball away on the halfway line, assistant Kevin Nolan threw his hands in the air. 'Because he was dismissed in the morning's chants arose from the far end, not long before a 'Moyes out' banner emerged at full speed. There was a lot of tension on the field, as well as in the dugout. In all leagues, there have been eight games without a win and three straight losses in the league. Results are an issue, but football is the most significant issue. In the last three games, 11 goals have been conceded and zero have scored.

Since the forward recently clashed with James Maddison and Kyle Walker, Michail Antonio has claimed that Neal Maupay's trolling could one day bite him. Maupay first caused controversies when he butted heads with the Tottenham midfielder after he imitated his darts display during Brentford's 3-2 loss to Ange Postecoglou's side. During their game against Man City on Monday night, the Frenchman was also embroiled in a tense feud with Kyle Walker, with a lip reader claiming Maupay had 'whispered taunts about his opponents' children's'. Walker is accused of saying, 'knock his opponent out,' when threatening to 'knock his opponent out.'

Hojlund hadn't scored for United in the Premier League until a 3-2 win over Aston Villa on Boxing Day, but he's now scored four goals in four games, showing that the club paid for the £72 million forward the club bought in the summer. He has helped his team climb to sixth position in the Premier League table in what has been a trying campaign, with netting the first goal of their 3-0 victory over Antonio's West Ham on Sunday. And Antonio is a fan.

SIMON JONES: Divin Mubama, a West Ham striker, has attracted attention from FC Twente Enschede. The Dutch team, who are currently third in the Economist, is keen to borrow Mubama. Sheffield Wednesday have also made inquiries, but West Ham are hesitant to allow the 19-year-old to leave this window. With Michail Antonio out injured, Mubama has been used from the bench by boss David Moyes, who needs backup for Jarrod Bowen and Danny Ings.

West Ham have ruled out a SOS call to Jesse Lingard as the club focuses on January targets, which include Sunderland's Jack Clarke and Steven Bergwijn. With Lucas Paqueta and Jarrod Bowen out, boss David Moyes is facing a crisis in attack. Michail Antonio is also injured after suffering a setback in preparation on Friday, and Mohammed Kudus is competing with Ghana in the Africa Cup of Nations. Moyes had been reluctant to enter the January market, but now admits that reinforcements are required.
