On-loan Manchester United winger Antony scored for a third consecutive match as his brilliant volley helped Real Betis beat Real Sociedad in La Liga.
Antony met a looping clearance with a crisp first-time shot from just inside the box that nestled into the bottom corner in the 51st minute.
The 24-year-old Brazilian also assisted Marc Roca, who struck Betis' third with a drilled finish after 69 minutes.
Roca had scored Betis' second five minutes earlier as Manuel Pellegrini's side rose to eighth in La Liga.
Antony has scored three goals in his past three games, as many as he had managed in the previous 30 games.
Last month he joined Betis on loan until the end of the season after a poor two-and-a-half-year spell at Old Trafford.
He became the second most expensive player in Manchester United's history behind Paul Pogba when he signed from Ajax in August 2022 for £81.3m.
United sources say Betis are covering 84% of his salary - more than £100,000 per week - while in Spain.
Sociedad finished the match with nine men after Igor Zubeldia was sent off in the first half and Sheraldo Becker was dismissed in the closing stages.
