West Ham United's Michail Antonio (2nd right) celebrates scoring his side's third goal of the game

West Ham ran out easy 3-1 winners against Cardiff on Tuesday night and Michail Antonio says the team are just hitting their stride.

A busy December will see the Hammers face Crystal Palace, Fulham, Watford, Burnley and Southampton, all winnable, and Antonio believes, that after a poor start, West Ham can now make up for lost time.

“We’ve scored six goals in the last two games now,” said Antonio. “We didn’t get any points from the first four games this season, so now we’re clawing back those points we missed out on at the start.
