Antonio stars as West Ham crush 10-man Leicester

The 31-year-old took sole possession of the record with a brace in the closing stages as West Ham followed up last weekend’s 4-2 win at Newcastle with another four-goal blitz.

“I’m really pleased for him. I was disappointed with the way he played in the first half but he did enough to shut the manager up after what I said to him at half-time,” Moyes said of Antonio.

Despite a quiet summer in the transfer market, West Ham sit top of the table and look capable of emulating last season’s sixth place finish.

The Hammers have won their opening two fixtures of a Premier League campaign for only the second time.

“It’s a super night for us. The team played really well. The sending-off changes the game a little bit we did a lot of good things,” Moyes said.
