West Ham striker Michail Antonio was happy to prove the matchwinner in their Europa Conference League semifinal first-leg against AZ Alkmaar.
The hosts fought back from a 1-0 deficit via AZ's Tijjani Reijnders as Said Benrahma converted a penalty won by Jarrod Bowen and Antonio struck for the 2-1 win.
Antonio said, "It definitely was [a tough game], from watching what they've done we knew they would play football and they're a decent team.
"We made it difficult for ourselves, we had chances, we just needed to be more clinical. In the end we got the result.
"We know they're a possession-based team, they know how to work it.
"We were like 'alright, we'll let you have it, and on the counter we'll damage you'.
"I was hoping I dropped on a couple of other things but it dropped on me perfectly [for my goal]. I got the goal, we got the win and we move on to next week."
