A cebtre forward should not be celebrated for “bagging assists.” Awoniyi is simply not scoring!
May be you need to see the match with open mind before making a comment. He had 2 assists because he had to do the job for his team when their midfielders couldnt do it for him.
Awoniyi is still the best SE front man in the EPL this season.
