Taiwo Awoniyi’s first EPL goal seals win for Nottingham

Taiwo Awoniyi has scored his first English Premier League goal of his career, a feat that secured Nottingham Forest’s first three points since returning to the top flight.

Awoniyi’s goal came in the 45th minute to put newly promoted Nottingham Forest ahead of West Ham on Sunday afternoon.

Awoniyi had a chance to have given Steven Cooper’s men a 12th minute lead, however, his header from Neco Williams’ cross sailed over the cross bar.

His goal happens to the be Nottingham’s first of the campaign after suffering a 2-0 defeat in their opener against Newcastle United.

The Nigerian striker joined Nottingham Forest from Union Berlin before the start of the season.

He was a Liverpool player from 2015 to 2021, but did not kick a ball in the EPL as he spent six years on loan to different clubs.
