LONDON (Reuters) - A superb goal by Michail Antonio helped West Ham United to a 2-1 home win over West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League on Tuesday after visiting midfielder Matheus Pereira had cancelled out Jarrod Bowen's opener in a lively contest.

The result lifted West Ham two places up to seventh on 32 points from 19 games while the Baggies stayed 19th on 11 points with an uphill task of avoiding relegation after their three-match unbeaten away run ended.

Antonio grabbed a 66th-minute winner as he volleyed past goalkeeper Sam Johnstone on the turn from close range after Andriy Yarmolenko headed an Aaron Cresswell cross from the left into the striker's path. West Ham took the lead on the stroke of halftime when Vladimir Coufal turned a deep Said Benrahma cross into the six-yard box and the ball cannoned off Bowen's chest past Johnstone.

West Brom levelled out of the blue in the 51st minute as Pereira was given time and space to tee himself up on the edge of the penalty area and unleash a stinging low shot into the far corner. The home side then moved up a gear and went close three times in the space of a minute on the hour mark before Antonio netted to keep the Hammers firmly in the upper half of the table.
