The West Ham started 2022 on the right foot by beating the Crystal Palace with the first goal of the year from Michail Antonio, which he celebrated in a very peculiar way.
The Jamaican forward stretched to the maximum to push the ball to the back of the nets and celebrated by throwing himself onto the grass emulating the attack of Raiden, video game character Mortal Kombat.
Antonio claimed in a post-match interview that he had been playing with Raiden in the video game.
“I’ve been playing Mortal Kombat…”
