Awoniyi Strikes Late as Forest Beat Brentford

Taiwo Awoniyi marked his return to the scoresheet as Nottingham Forest defeated Brentford 2–0 in their Round 23 meeting at the Gtech Stadium. The game featured three Nigerians, with Michael Kayode starting for Brentford, Ola Aina completing ninety minutes for Forest, and Awoniyi introduced late.

Forest went ahead in the 12th minute when Igor Jesus latched onto a long pass, burst through the defence and finished calmly. Brentford created openings through Igor Thiago and Sepp van den Berg but lacked precision, while injuries disrupted their flow. Awoniyi sealed the result in the 79th minute, weaving past markers before firing low to secure the points
