TAIWO AWONIYI SCORES NOTTINGHAM FOREST’S FIRST PREMIER LEAGUE GOAL IN 23 YEARS
Read Time:46 Second
Record signing, Taiwo Awoniyi scored Nottingham Forest’s first Premier League goal in 23 years with a 1-0 win over West Ham.
The Nigerian bundled home on his full debut to leave the home support delirious but Steve Cooper’s side needed Dean Henderson to save Declan Rice’s second-half penalty for them to hold on to the three points.
West Ham also hit the crossbar through Pablo Fornals and Said Benrahma, the latter also having a goal disallowed in the first half, before Neco Williams cleared Kurt Zouma’s header off the line late on. David Moyes will not believe that his team are yet to score this season.
Forest’s first Premier League goal this century was anything but pretty but Awoniyi deserved it, the ball deflecting in off him after Ben Johnson blocked Jesse Lingard’s tame shot.
Even Zouma found it difficult to handle the former Union Berlin forward’s physicality throughout the game.
