West Ham United forward Michail Antonio grabbed his first-ever career hat-trick yesterday, putting four goals past Norwich City.

The 4-0 win for the Hammers saw the Canaries go down following their 24th defeat of the campaign, but it boosted the survival chances of David Moyes’ side, with six points now between them and the relegation zone.

French striker Sebastien Haller hasn’t been fit enough since the Premier League resumed action last month, coming off the bench in the last two games, and Antonio has been tasked with leading the line for West Ham.

The 30-year-old hasn’t disappointed, scoring six goals and assisting once in six games.

The Hammers star was simply unplayable against Norwich, and his heroics and record-setting performance saw BBC Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker and ex-Hammers trio Trevor Sinclair, Tony Cottee and Carlton Cole react thus on Twitter:

Well played @Michailantonio who becomes the first @WestHam player ever to score 4 goals in a Premier League game.
