Michail Antonio
While Michail Antonio recently became West Ham's top goal scorer in the Premier League, the 34-year-old hasn't been influential in the attack for West Ham this season. In Niclas Fullkrug's absence Antonio has started most of the Premier League matches for Julen Lopetegui's side but struggled to find the back of the net and his lack of pace coupled with some heavy touches on the ball led the Hammers to give away ball possession while going forward.
However in the Ipswich Town match, Antonio looked much more comfortable inside the box and his positioning was great on the first goal where he timed his run well to place Bowen's pass into the back of the net. In the build up to the second goal, Antonio almost scored his second goal of the match after guiding Emerson's delivery into the box on goal, which came off the crossbar and Kudus scored the 2-1 goal on the rebound.
