West Ham United forward Michail Antonio has been described as “sensational” by BBC pundit Michael Dawson following his performance against Wolves on Monday night.

The Hammers raced into a three-goal lead against their opponents, with Jesse Lingard, Pablo Fornals and Jarrod Bowen all netting in the opening 40 minutes.

Although Leander Dendoncker got on the scoresheet before the break and Fabio Silva edged Wolves to within a goal in the second half, West Ham hung on for all three points.

Antonio hit the post and gave the opposition defence a hard time, but went down following a powerful run and shot holding his hamstring and had to be substituted in the 36th minute.

Dawson, commentating on BBC Radio 5 Live, said: “Antonio has been sensational, he has given Coady and Saiss nightmares. I’ve played against players like him. It’s a major blow.”
