A stroke of genius! Michail Antonio lights up the internet with his swimming celebration after scoring for West Ham against Burnley...and reveals it stems from a forfeit to Declan Rice over Call of Duty

West Ham striker Michail Antonio found a novel way to celebrate his first goal in three months.

Having struck home from close range in the Hammers' 1-0 win over Burnley, Antonio ran away from his team-mates down the touchline and promptly dropped to the floor and performed a swimming backstroke on the slick turf at the London Stadium.

The move was immediately appreciated by his fellow Hammers, who were falling about laughing at Antonio's shenanigans.

Antonio really is the king of celebrations! uf602 #WHUFC #WHUBUR u2692pic.
