Antony cannot stop scoring at Real Betis as Manchester United continue to struggle in front of goal.
Before leaving on loan last month, Antony had scored just once in 14 appearances this season.
His only goal came from the penalty spot against Barnsley in the Carabao Cup in September.
On Sunday, he opened the scoring in Betis’ 3-0 win over Real Sociedad.

The ball fell to him on the edge of the box, and he struck a volley through a crowd of players past Alex Remiro.
That goal took his tally in Spain to three in four matches.
He has also won player of the match three times, sending a message to United in the process.
Taking to Instagram, Antony shared pictures from the game, writing in Spanish: “A lot of Betis,” with a pray and green heart emoji.
Betis posted a video of his goal, while La Liga shared a picture of the Brazilian with the caption: “Antony. What a player,” followed by a fire emoji.
Speaking after the game, Antony was asked about his form compared to his time at United.
“I think the most important thing is to be happy and here, I’m really happy,” he said.
“As I’ve said before, I’m really happy to score to help the team and we’ll keep going like this.
“I’m not setting a number for goals, I work hard every day. I’m really focused, really happy here.”

Meanwhile, United fell to a 1-0 defeat at Tottenham on Sunday.
They failed to respond to James Maddison’s first-half strike, leaving them 15th in the table.
Ruben Amorim’s side have struggled in attack, scoring just 28 goals while conceding 35.
Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have scored just five league goals between them.
Top scorer Amad Diallo is at risk of missing the rest of the season with an ankle injury.
United must find a way to be more prolific in front of goal if they want to climb the table.
