West Ham have convincingly beaten Norwich on Saturday afternoon with Michail Antonio scoring all four goals. The Hammers mustered their first away win since David Moyes has taken over in January and are now six points clear of the relegation zone with only three games to go.
Michail Antonio is the first West Ham player to score four goals in a top-flight match since David Cross in 1981Norwich are relegated with this seventh successive league defeat which left Daniel Farke’s side anchored at the foot of the table, 13 points from safety with only three games – and a maximum nine points – to play.
Norwich’s third relegation in seven seasons was sealed by Antonio’s superb performance in front of goal.
The forward volleyed the first from inside the six-yard area after Issa Diop’s flick from a corner before using his head to guide Mark Noble’s free-kick beyond Tim Krul.
Hammers skipper Noble also provided the ball over the top for Antonio’s hat-trick. Krul saved his initial shot but it fell invitingly for the West Ham player to head over the line. His fourth was a tap-in after Ryan Fredericks’ pass.
West Ham’s first Premier League away win under David Moyes lifts them six points above the relegation zone, with two of their remaining three matches at home to fellow strugglers Aston Villa and Watford (winning 2-1 over Newcastle at the same time) and an away game against Manchester Utd.
