Taiwo Awoniyi: 'It comes from Yeshua' - Super Eagles star celebrates 2nd goal for Nottingham Forest

After scoring in Nottingham Forest's 2-1 victory over Sheffield United on Friday, Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi broke the previous record for Nigerian players in the Premier League.

In the fourth minute of the exhilarating game, the 26-year-old nodded Sergie Aurier's cross into the goal.

In Forest's 2-1 loss to Arsenal last weekend, the former Union Berlin attacker also scored.

Awoniyi has now taken to social media to give his thoughts about his latest achivements.

The goal for Awoniyi comes after he welcomed a baby with his wife last week.

On his social media platforms, Awoniyi posted several photos of his goal in the game.

Along with the photos by Awoniyi was a message about Yeshua signaling his Christian beliefs.

The message by Awoniyi said, "The end of all arguments is Result and it comes from Yeshua. James 1:17

"The darker the night, the greater the light.

"Wait, I say on the sovereign one. Psalm 27:14 #forever the greatest 🙏🏿

"Thank you city ground….we keep going You REDS 🫶"

Awoniyi now joins Super Falcons star Rasheedat Ajibade in openly declaring their Christian beliefs.

Awoniyi has now scored in six straight Premier League games, making him the first Nigerian to do so.

When Nottingham Forest plays Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday, August 26, the striker will now try to become the third African player to score in seven straight games.
