West Ham star Michail Antonio has been announced as the Premier League’s Player of the Month for August.
And, as to be expected, a number of Hammers fans were quick to flock to the update on social media.
Antonio beat teammate Said Benrahma, Chelsea left-back Marcos Alonso, Tottenham Hotspur defender Eric Dier, Everton winger Demarai Gray and Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood to win the award.
The £70,000-a-week forward has been in fine form in the opening three games of the campaign, scoring four times and registering three assists.
The 31-year-old managed to both score and provide an assist in all three games against Newcastle, Leicester and Crystal Palace respectively, and his impressive displays have earned him a second Premier League Player of the Month award in as many seasons.
Antonio also became West Ham’s all-time Premier League goalscorer last month and reached 50 top-flight goals for the Hammers with his goal against Palace.
