Awoniyi on Target in Forest’s 3-0 Pre-Season Win Over Blackburn
Nottingham Forest continued their pre-season build-up for the 2026/27 Premier League with a 3-0 victory over Championship side Blackburn in Portugal. Igor Jesus broke the deadlock just before half-time, setting the tone for a strong performance. Early in the second half, Arnaud Kalimuendo doubled Forest’s lead with a well-worked finish. Taiwo Awoniyi then capped off the win with a clinical strike to secure back-to-back wins after their 2-0 success at Notts County. Manager Oliver Glasner’s squad will complete their Algarve training camp with a behind-closed-doors fixture against Vitória S.C., before facing Sporting CP on Friday, July 31.
