Antonio goal celebration explained

Michail Antonio’s bizarre goal celebration came about after the player lost a bet with captain Declan Rice while playing an online video game.

Rice and Antonio were playing Call of Duty with the winner deciding on a forfeit for the losing Hammer.

After beating Antonio on the video game 22-year-old Rice told Mikey to go over to the corner flag when he scores his next goal and get on his back and do a backstroke swimming exercise using the heels of feet to push himself along the ground

Antonio accepted the challenge telling Rice ‘I like that, I’ll do that, I am a man of my word’.

That was Michail Antonio‘s first goal since October and proved to be the difference as the Hammers take all three points against the Clarets.
