Awoniyi Stars in Forest’s 3-0 Rout of Spurs; Aina Rated Average

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.

With Awoniyi's 7.5 rating and late goal off the bench, how do you see his role evolving in Forest's attack?

I agree, his late strike and solid rating hint at a more pivotal bench role in Forest's attack going forward.

I'd hold off on big claims just yet; one match can hide broader concerns about consistency in Forest's frontline.

Despite full 90 minutes, Aina's performance barely stood out and the average rating suggests he needs to step up to secure his spot.

A single substitute goal doesn't prove depth. Forest will need more consistent impact from their bench throughout the season.

If Forest want to push for Europe, they should rotate Aina with fresher legs and let Awoniyi build momentum off the bench.
