Football fans have reacted to Taiwo Awoniyi's record-equaling goal for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League with the Super Eagles star rated higher than Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund.
Football fans have reacted to Taiwo Awoniyi’s latest goal for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
Awoniyi was on target again as Forest hosted Sheffield United at the City Ground on Friday night football.
The goal from the Nigeria Super Eagles striker gave the Reds an early 1-0 lead in the first half in the week two clash in the new Premier League season.
Awoniyi’s record for Forest
The Nigerian forward continued his impressive run of form after another brilliant outing for Forest.
Last weekend, the 26-year-old opened his account for the season in a 2-1 defeat to last season’s contenders Arsenal.
It took him only three minutes to score a second in as many matches after a towering header to break the deadlock against the newly promoted side.
The goal was his sixth consecutive goal for the Reds and saw him enter into history books at Forest.
Awoniyi is now the first player since Stan Collymore in the 1995 season to score in six consecutive matches in the Premier League for Forest.
Fans react
Following the latest strike, Awoniyi has been appreciated by fans who took to social media to praise the Nigeria.
According to some of the reactions, the former Union Berlin man has impressed with his movement while his goals have seen him rated higher than Manchester United’s 72 million pounds summer signing, Rasmus Hojlund.
Here are the reactions to Awoniyi’s latest goal for his Nottingham Forest side.
