Sees consistent time on field Antonio appeared in 26 games (21 starts), registering six goals on 30 shots and two assists on eight chances created to go along with 27 crosses.

Impact Antonio saw a solid chunk of time as a starter this season, pretty much being a mainstay in the starting XI outside of the 14-match spell he spent on the sidelines due to injury. He matched his goal contribution count from last year but still seems to be fading away from his former self, as he registered four straight double-digit goal contribution seasons from 2018 to 2021, although this is likely due to Jarred Bowen's success. His contract is set to run out this summer, but he does have an option for a further year with the club. However, his return is still up in the air as rumors around a move to another Premier League club did arise early in the season.
