Norwich relegated, Michail Antonio scores four

Norwich City has been relegated from the Premier League this season, courtesy of an astonishing performance by Michail Antonio, who scored all four goals to move West Ham further up the table and away from relegation troubles.

This was Norwich’s seventh successive league defeat, which leaves them 13 points from safety. With only three games to play, they now have no path to safety and now face their third relegation in seven seasons

 Antonio opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a shot from close range after a corner and followed up with a second after heading in a Mark Noble free-kick just before the break.

Antonio scored his first ever hat-trick in the 54th minute and added the fourth goal in the 74th minute.
