Michail Antonio: Leverkusen? We've done it before, so we can do it again

Exclusive by Alessandro Schiavone

Michail Antonio has urged West Ham to take inspiration from the Hammers' historic Europa League wins over Lyon and Seville two years ago as they bid to erase a two-goal deficit against Bayer Leverkusen tonight.

The second-best Hammers hung in there until the 83rd minute at the BayArena before Jonas Hofmann and Victor Boniface scored to claim a 2-0 win.

When asked what needs to be done to reach the semis of the competition Antonio, arguably his side's standout outfield player in Germany, told Capital Football: "We just got to turn up and make sure we do the things right and when we get opportunities we take them.

"We need to play the same game as against Seville two years ago, the same game we played against Lyon, the same game as against Freiburg a couple of weeks back. We've done it before so we can do it again."
