NigerianStriker Taiwo Awoniyi has stated that Nottingham Forest’s Swizzels Sweetest Strike belongs to him for January after his outstanding individual goal in the 2-0 victory against Brentford, according to PUNCH Sports Extra.
Awoniyi extended Forest’s lead in the match following Igor Jesus’ early first-half goal for the visitors at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Nigeria’s player showcased a moment of personal brilliance following a pass from England midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, moving confidently into the Brentford penalty box and scoring a low shot past goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
The goal was chosen from seven shortlisted entries to win the monthly award and represented Awoniyi’s first strike of the season, concluding a challenging beginning to the campaign.
A 28-year-old player has faced a tough time, making only eight appearances in the Premier League and scoring once, with a total of 204 minutes on the pitch during those matches.
His challenges also resulted in him being left out of Nottingham Forest’s UEFA Europa League team, as former manager Nuno Espirito Santo chose different forward options.
Awoniyi is now hoping that the individual acknowledgment marks a pivotal moment, as he aims to capitalize on the successful goal, restore his confidence, and return to his peak performance for the rest of the season.
