Awoniyi to battle Elanga, Hudson-Odoi for Forest’s Goal of the Month award

Taiwo Awoniyi has been nominated for Nottingham Forest’s Goal of the Month award for February.

Forest announced Awoniyi and four other nominees for the award on their website on Friday.

Also in the running for the award are former Manchester United forward Anthony Elanga and erstwhile Chelsea player Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Awoniyi’s strike in the 2-0 win against West Ham was shortlised for the award.

The Nigerian striker opened the scoring against the Hammers five minutes into first half stoppage time.

He received a pass inside the box, made a sharp turn which beat his marker before slotting past the goalkeeper.

The winner of the award will be decided through votes by Forest fans.
