West Ham United striker Michail Antonio admitted to his surprise at scoring against Tottenham in the Premier League.

The centre-forward notched the only goal of the game to give the Hammers all three points on Sunday.

Antonio netted from a set-piece, where his job was to block Harry Kane, not score himself.

"To be fair, I wasn't really there to score today!" he told the club's website.

"I was kind of there just to block Harry [Kane], but the ball's come my way, and obviously being the poacher that I am, I stuck my foot out!

"I was kind of surprised, because I just got my foot there, just to get in front of him, and it's gone into the bottom corner. I was just buzzing.

"I've now got the No9 shirt and that's the job I need to do
