Nottingham Forest manager, Sean Dyche, has heaped praise on Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi after his standout performance in the Tricky Trees’ 3-1 triumph against Leeds United at the City Ground on Sunday.
Awoniyi came off the bench in the 59th minute, replacing Igor Jesus, and immediately made his presence felt.
Dyche expressed his delight with the forward’s contribution. “Taiwo [Awoniyi] was excellent. He seemed a little lost when we got in but he knows he has a part to play for us,” he told BBC Sports UK.
“I thought he was excellent when he came on. He’s a bit of an unsung hero at times. He sometimes gets left out for no particular reason, but then comes on and runs right till the end.
“So, we’re going to need that, not just in this game, but through the season. They’ll get a few days off, but we’ll be buzzing to go again.”
