Michail Antonio paid an emotional visit to the paramedics who saved his life four months ago, telling them that they are his heroes.

On December 7, the West Ham forward was airlifted to hospital with a broken leg after being cut from the wreckage of his £260,000 grey Ferrari by fire crews in Essex.

After colliding with a tree on his way home from training in Epping Forest, the striker was trapped for more than 45 minutes and feared for his life.

He underwent surgery for his broken leg the following day.
