Awoniyi Faces FA Sanction Over 'God Is Greatest' Celebration
1 / 3
Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi came off the bench to seal a 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur with his second goal of the season. In celebration, he removed his jersey to reveal a shirt reading “God is the greatest,” earning an automatic yellow card for shirt removal. Under Premier League, FA and FIFA rules, messages on undergarments must avoid political, religious or personal slogans. Awoniyi may face a fine or warning, but his case is likely to draw a lighter sanction given its personal faith focus.
