Michail Antonio is no Homer Simpson, says West Ham boss Slaven Bilic

West Ham's Michail Antonio should not be compared to Homer Simpson because he works too hard, says Slaven Bilic regarding his midfielder's animated weekend celebrations.

After scoring a stunning winner in Saturday's Premier League 1-0 win over Sunderland, the 25-year-old surprised everybody at Upton Park by dropping to the turf and propelling himself in circles.

Antonio said at the weekend: "I watched The Simpsons Movie and I saw Homer do it, and I thought it looked hilarious so I'll do it if I score.

"It was all planned. I told all the boys and they said [there was] no way I'd do it, but I did! I think I pulled it off."

Speaking ahead of Wednesday's showdown with Tottenham, Bilic joked that all comparisons should be put aside because of the differences in work-rate.

The Hammers boss said: "I am a big fan of The Simpsons and saw his celebrations. To see him connected with Homer Simpson, they have nothing in common - there is no connection between the two.

"Homer is lazy. Michail is a workaholic. But I enjoyed his celebration."
