EPL: Awoniyi lifts Nottingham Forest out of relegation

Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi highlighted his importance to the Nottingham Forest team once more when he scored the crucial goal that saw his team beat Southampton 1-0 on Wednesday night.

Aside from helping Forest to their first away win of the season, the goal by Awoniyi, his fourth of the season, also lifted Forest out of the relegation zone on the Premier League table.

Wednesday’s basement clash between Forest and the Saints who were 18th and 20th respectively going into the match was quite crucial, but Awoniyi’s first-half goal made the difference.
