As a result of Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over West Ham United this afternoon, Michail Antonio was forced to retract his remarks. The Hammers forward made a bold prediction before today’s Premier League match at Anfield, claiming that his team had “got” Liverpool and would finish the season ahead of Jurgen Klopp’s team in the standings.
Antonio claimed the Reds were there for the taking after what he saw as a subpar performance at Wolves the previous weekend, but he was unable to inspire his team to three points on the field. Many Liverpool fans were interested in what Antonio had to say before the game because goals from Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Diogo Jota made sure West Ham would not prevail in this particular match. Two former Liverpool players also commented on the remarks of the Jamaican international, with Jason McAteer making a joking promise to viewers on beinSPORTS that Antonio would back his current employers to outperform Liverpool in the Premier League.
McAteer declared, “If they do that, I’ll sit here without a shirt and a tie.”. In addition, Lucas Leiva saw this outcome as a chance to make fun of West Ham’s goal scorer, adding his signature “unlucky” phrase to an Instagram post that made reference to the former Nottingham Forest player.
