Argentina midfielder Lanzini has been nominated for his last-minute equaliser at Tottenham Hotspur on 18 October.

The No10 marked his first Premier League appearance of the 2020/21 season by coming off the substitutes’ bench with 13 minutes remaining and playing his part in the Irons’ historic comeback.

The Hammers were 3-0 down with less than ten minutes remaining, but a Fabián Balbuena header and Davinson Sánchez’s own-goal gave David Moyes’ side hope, and Lanzini completed an amazing turnaround by scoring with seconds of added time remaining.

The 27-year-old fired an unstoppable 25-yard first-time shot in via the underside of the crossbar to secure an unlikely point and spark wild celebrations at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Six days later, Antonio caught the eye with a stunning overhead kick to open the scoring in the 1-1 draw with Manchester City at London Stadium.

The in-form centre-forward held off City centre-back Rúben Dias with his back to goal before firing Vladimír Coufal’s right-wing cross beyond Ederson with a superbly-taken finish.

The goal was Antonio’s third in six Premier League appearances this season and eleventh in 13 matches dating back to the 3-2 home win over Chelsea on 1 July.
