West Ham United striker Michail Antonio admits he would love to score a scorpion kick after Pablo Fornals’ stunner against Bournemouth on Sunday.
Seven minutes after coming on in the second half against the Cherries at the Vitality Stadium, Fornals got on the end of a Jarrod Bowen cross with an acrobatic scorpion kick to score the Hammers’ fourth in their 4-0 win over Bournemouth on the south coast.
Five minutes into the game, striker Antonio got his 12th goal of the season in all competitions when heading in Aaron Cresswell’s early corner, making him the club’s top scorer in all competitions this term.

However, despite notching for the third time in under 72 hours, Antonio admits he wishes he had scored the goal Fornals did in the game, adding it is a dream of his to recreate it one day.
“No, I’m a bit jealous to be fair,” Antonio told BBC’s Match of the Day 2.
“It’s one of my dreams to do. Pablo got it today, I’m not ruling myself out for it in the future though.”
That win over the Cherries moved West Ham up to 13th in the Premier League table, six points clear of the relegation zone with just seven matches remaining for the Hammers this season.
Antonio said that momentum in recent weeks, with West Ham losing just once in their last ten matches, has been a big thing, adding that he hopes to win the Europa Conference League this season and thinks West Ham need just one more win to steer clear of the relegation zone in the Premier League.
"It has been a long hard season, it draws us away from the pack. It's a good turn around from the week and we keep the momentum going as obviously we are trying to win the [Europe Conference League].
"It has clicked overall and since the start of the year our performances have become more all round. This last month can become unbelievable, I feel another win secures Premier League for next year."
