Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi got off to a promising start in the Premier League; scoring a well-taken goal in the season opener against Arsenal on Saturday at the Emirates Stadium.
Unfortunately, the goal scored by Awoniyi was not enough as Arsenal prevailed 2-1 over Nottingham Forest in a game the Gunners dominated almost all the departments.
Several reports had suggested Awoniyi will not be fit for the trip to London to face the Gunners but the 26-year-old surprisingly made it to the bench.
