Awoniyi returns, helps forests to overcome spurs to boost UCL qualification hopes

Taiwo Awoniyi returned to Action for Nottingham Forest, who beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at the MEETING OF THE MONDIRO LEAGUE.

Awoniyi had been out since the beginning of April after suffering an injury to the hamstrings.

But Nigeria’s international returned to the countryside after replacing Chris Wood in the 75th minute.

However, his Nigerian teammate Ola Aina is still marginalized by muscle injury.

The victory against the Spurs increases the hopes of Forest of the qualification of the UEFA Champions League, since they maintain third position in 60 points in the league table.

For the Spurs they are currently in 16 in 37 points in the position of the League.

But the wood would not deny in the 16th when you reach the score sheet to put the 2-0.

With three remaining minutes, Brazilian striker Richarlison withdrew a goal for the Spurs, but Forest clung to claiming the three points.
