West Ham leads Celtic 3-1 at halftime at Celtic Park with Michail Antonio with a brace.

The Hammers went one-nil down in the pre-season friendly with Mc Gregor slotting one past Fabianksi due to an unfortunate mistake by Manual Lanzini.

Angelo Ogbonna went down injured after five minutes clutching his thigh, he was immediately replaced by Issa Diop but hopefully, the change was more precautionary.  Both Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen were denied the West Ham open by terrific saves by Celtic stopper Barkas.

Antonio looks sharp and was too hot to handle scoring his first goal after 23 minutes. Noble plays it into a wide gap between the centre-backs, Antonio has time and space to collect, dribble past Barkas and slot into the net with his left foot.

Nine minutes later and Antonio scored his second with a second on 32 minutes with one-touch football from Lanzini and Benrahma which found Fornals and he simply plays the ball into space between the centre-backs. Antonio raced onto it and Barkas has his positioning all wrong, so the new No9 slots inside the left-hand post with his left foot.

It was Antonio’s pace that led to the Hammers third goal with Anntio bought down in the six-yard box with skipper Mark Noble converting the penalty.
