Awoniyi on His Unforgettable Winner Against Liverpool

1 / 2

Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi says his 1-0 goal against Liverpool in October 2022 remains the highlight of his career. Born in Nigeria, Awoniyi spent six years under contract at Liverpool without a first-team appearance. Work-permit issues led to loan spells at six clubs before he joined Union Berlin permanently and then moved to Forest. Speaking in an interview with Nottingham Forest’s official channel, Awoniyi admitted it felt bittersweet to score against his former club. He recalled pouncing on a rebound in the 55th minute to secure three crucial points. In his ongoing Premier League run, Awoniyi has added three goals and two assists in his last five games, further cementing his reputation as a key player for Forest.
