Taiwo Awoniyi\u2019s Nottingham Forest teammate, Morgan Gibbs-White, shared an uplifting message after the Nigerian forward ended his prolonged Premier League goal drought, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tricky Trees moved level on 40 points with Arsenal, who are second in the EPL standings, following an impressive 3-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday.<\/p>\n

Awoniyi, who came on for New Zealand striker Chris Wood in the 88th minute, seized his moment during his three-minute cameo, to score in the dying moments of the game to extend Forest\u2019s lead<\/a>. This goal marked the end of Awoniyi\u2019s Premier League goal drought, which had persisted since February 2024.<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles star latched onto a pass from James Ward-Prowse after a brilliant counterattack by Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s side, finishing with a fine first-time shot from close range.<\/p>\n

Awoniyi has endured a challenging adjustment to life in England, slipping down the pecking order at Nottingham Forest, where Chris Wood has been the preferred striker.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian has been linked with a potential move away from the City Ground in the January transfer window in search of regular playing time. However, this goal could prove to be a turning point for Awoniyi\u2019s fortunes at the club.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
