Antony Hits Brace and Assist in Betis’ 3-0 Win to Extend La Liga Surge

His late-October revival after a cut-price exit from Manchester United has propelled Betis into the top five ahead of a Europa League date with Lyon.

Overview

  • The Brazilian scored two from distance, set up Abde Ezzalzouli and was named man of the match as Real Betis beat Mallorca 3-0.
  • The performance took him to four league goals in his last three matches and lifted Betis to 19 points from 11 games in fifth place, three off fourth.
  • Betis made his loan permanent on deadline day for a reported €22–25 million after his difficult spell at Manchester United.
  • Antony said he feels "at home" and is playing with "heart," having previously told ESPN Brasil he sensed a lack of respect during his time at United.
  • Spanish press hailed the display as elite level, and Betis next face Lyon in the Europa League on Thursday.
