Taiwo Awoniyi Goal Not Enough To Lift Nottingham Forest From Loss To Fulham

Super Eagles forward, Taiwo Awoniyi scored his second league goal of the season for struggling Nottingham Forest in his team 2-3 home loss to Fulham, BSNSports com.ng reports.

Awoniyi scored second goal on his third start for Nottingham Forest. He scored in the 11th minute as he headed from a corner kick to put the host ahead in the first half.

Super Eagles-eligible defender Tosin Adarabioyo scored the equaliser for Fulham in the 54th minute as Joao Palhinha and Harrison Reed completed a second half rout to take all three points on the night.

Awoniyi missed from a similar position from where he had scored inside the opposition penalty box which could have made the score stand at 3-2 before he was replaced by Sam Surridge in the 70th minute.
