Homer's oddity! Antonio marks goal with Simpsons celebration

Antonio curled home a fine 30th minute strike that sealed a 1-0 win at Upton Park on Saturday and ran off to launch his curious celebration.

Throwing himself to the turf, he kicked his legs and pumped out his arm as he span around on his side in a full circle.

Quizzed on the inspiration behind his memorable move, the 25-year-old Londoner admitted he wanted to copy a scene featuring Homer Simpson which had made him laugh when he saw it in the 2007 film 'The Simpsons', a spin-off from the hugely popular television series.

"I watched The Simpsons Movie the other day and I saw Homer do it, and I thought it looked hilarious so I'll do it if I score," Antonio told West Ham's website.

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