Nottingham Forest secured an impressive 3-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in their English Premier League (EPL) clash at Molineux, with Taiwo Awoniyi scoring the final goal deep into stoppage time.
Super Eagles striker’s goal, assisted by James Ward-Prowse, came when the striker had the goal gaping and calmly rolled the ball into the net to complete the emphatic win.
The 27-year-old’s strike during Monday evening’s outing was his first goal since February 2024, ending a long drought after persistent injury setbacks. Awoniyi’s emotional celebration saw him drop to his knees in relief and joy, marking a significant moment in his return to form.
Earlier in the match, Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood had already put Forest in command, with their goals demonstrating the team’s dominance.
This victory, Forest’s 12th of the season, propels them into an unexpected third position on the Premier League table. They are now level on points with Arsenal in second place, and four points ahead of Chelsea, who sit in fourth.
