Awoniyi Stars in Forest’s 3-0 Rout of Spurs; Aina Rated Average
Taiwo Awoniyi earned a 7.5/10 rating after coming off the bench to seal Nottingham Forest’s vital 3-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur. His smart finish late on marked his second Premier League goal of the season. Meanwhile, Ola Aina featured for the full 90 minutes but managed only a 5/10 score. The Nottingham Post noted he struggled defensively and nearly conceded a penalty during a shaky display. Goals from Igor Jesus and Morgan Gibbs-White set the tone before Awoniyi’s winner, lifting Forest to 16th place on 32 points—two clear of relegation-threatened Spurs. Both Nigerian internationals were omitted from the upcoming Super Eagles squad and missed out on the 2025 AFCON lineup due to injury.
