West Ham striker Michail Antonio hailed Manuel Lanzini after victory over Crystal Palace.

Antonio opened the scoring in the 22nd minute at Selhurst Park before Lanzini hit a superb second, showing quick feet to dribble past Joachim Andersen and then rifling into the roof of the net. He later added a second with a penalty.

It made it five goals for the former Argentina international this season, which is his best tally since he sustained anterior cruciate ligament damage in 2018

"They call him the jewel here, because he's obviously magic," Antonio told Sky Sports about team-mate Lanzini.

“The guy has come back from his knee injury, it has taken a bit of time to get back, a couple of years, but now you are seeing the quality he had when he first came in 2016-17.

“He is showing it again and we're happy we've got the jewel back."
