Michail Antonio knows West Ham need to start taking their chances

Michail Antonio has called on West Ham to add a clinical edge to ease their tough Premier League start.

In-form Antonio hit the net but the Hammers still lost 2-1 at Arsenal on Saturday, leaving David Moyes’ men with two defeats in their opening two Premier League matches.

The Hammers host Hull in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup clash, with most likely a much-changed line-up from the weekend’s Emirates Stadium defeat.

“We had 14 chances on Saturday and on another day we could have scored two or three more goals and won,” Antonio told West Ham’s official club website.

“It’s part and parcel of football really that if you don’t take your chances you get punished.

“Hopefully we can build on the performance. We did produce a great team goal, one that I couldn’t miss really, so hopefully I can get a few more in the weeks to come.”
