West Ham United striker Michail Antonio had to face the music of his own making this week.

The forward finally addressed his failed prediction that West Ham would beat Liverpool last month.

Antonio had been supremely confident about his team, even stating they would finish the season ahead of the Reds.

He stated on the Footballlers' Football Podcast: "All I'm saying is you guys are acting like I evaded [the podcast], I was busy, then I was messaging Darren - because Darren is the man who sorts all of this you, yeah - I was like 'I'm free this day', he says 'nah, we did it last night'.

“Okay, alright. Y'all just wanted the sauce on me. It's fine."

Antonio added: "I got a big pie in my face, yeah, it's no problem. I ain't worried. It is what it is. I would do it again - I will do it again!

"We started the game off well, had a good couple of opportunities. If I took my opportunity I think the game would of been different with the lead that we would have had, and we'd probably hold onto it because what we do know how to do is hold onto a lead."
