West Ham star closing in on John Terry's record

Michail Antonio once again found the net with what is becoming a trademark header in West Ham’s 2-2 draw with Leicester on Saturday.

Seven of the Hammers’ last nine goals at the London Stadium have now been headers, with the other two both coming from the penalty spot.

And a whopping 15 of Antonio’s 25 career Premier League goals have now gone in off his bonce.

That puts him second on the list of the Premier League’s best headers of the ball, with only Chelsea legend John Terry (who scored 27 headers from a total of 41 goals) currently boasting a higher ratio.

“I’m very pleased, as I am every time I score a goal, but it’s just disappointing that the goal didn’t come along with the three points,” Antonio told the club’s official website after his goal against Leicester.

“Nobes put a great ball in and I made a great run and it just ends up on my head, like I’ve got a magnet on there!”
