Super Eagles striker, Taiwo Awoniyi was at his best mettle in Nottingham Forest’s 1-1 draw against Chelsea in today’s Premier League game.
The Nigerian international who is making his 15th appearance, has netted 3 goals this season.
He was a nightmare for the Blues duo of Thiago Silva and Kalidou Koulibaly each time he attacks their defence.
However, Chelsea took the lead after 16 minutes when Willy Boly unfortunately deflected Christian Pulisic’s cross over Dean Henderson and against the crossbar, with Raheem Sterling smashing home a half-volley from the rebound.
But the leveller eventually came from an unusual source when Serge Aurier latched onto Boly’s header from a corner and chested then volleyed under Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Both teams rise a position with the draw. Chelsea are up to eighth, while Forest are now third-bottom

Great performance!
Attacked from the right today and showed up against Chelsea.
Had Coulibaly and Silva in his pockets today..
Well deserved man of the match award.
Whether man or woman of the match awo has entered a wrong market.
His man’s skill is greater than that club, I pray he won’t go down with that irumole forest of a thing is playing for.
Awoniyi Waya Naya! All the coaches who worked with you know your quality. We must never condemn players in their time of need. Awoniyi is going through rough time but he will come out of it. He is far better than Erling Haaland. I and I will never condemn a hard working footballer.
Heaven bless Awoniyi and all deserving Super Eagles players.
