Logs brace

Awoniyi scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) in Monday's 3-1 victory over Chelsea.

Analysis: Awoniyi was responsible for the third goal to give Nottingham Forest more breathing room in Monday's win. The forward should be active against Aston Villa in the second leg of the UEL semifinal, though there was only one goal combined in the first leg so this could be a tough defense for Awoniyi to crack.

Assists Friday

Awoniyi assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Friday's 5-0 win against Sunderland.

Analysis: Awoniyi put his name on the scoresheet Friday with an assist during the one-sided rout. The match was never particularly competitive and Awoniyi did well to cause issues even with just a single chance created. He didn't get too involved other than that assist, playing only two minutes off the bench.
