Michail Antonio came in for a lot of criticism on Monday night.
The West Ham winger, playing at full-back, gave away a penalty in the first-half of their 2-1 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Antonio lost the ball to Cesar Azpilicueta and brought him down in the penalty area. Eden Hazard stepped-up and slotted the spot-kick home.
But the criticism directed at Antonio wasn’t exclusively from Hammers supporters.
The person responsible for running the Twitter account belonging to Betway – West Ham’s shirt sponsor –  clearly had enough of Antonio playing out of position, tweeting: ‘Antonio has been an accident waiting to happen in defence, West Ham fan will hope that’s the end of the experiment.’

The betting company realised they went a bit too far criticising the player of a team they sponsor, apologising to Antonio and the club earlier today.
