Awoniyi scores first goal of the season as Aina helps Forest keep clean sheet against Wolves

Aina, who has been in form for Forest this season, continued at the back as they kept up the pace in the title race.

The visitors took advantage of Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea’s slip-up by defeating Wolves 3-0 on the night.

Taiwo Awoniyi who had not scored since the start of the season, came late in the game to register his first goal for Nottingham Forest.

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira made five changes for the hosts to face Forest, with Matheus Cunha missing out due to his two-game suspension.

Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, made two changes, with Murillo and Callum Hudson-Odoi returning to the team, while Ola Aina continued at the back.

Two goals from Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood gave the visitors a comfortable lead in the first half.

Awoniyi came in late in the second half to crown the victory for Nottingham Forest, with the game ending in a comfortable win for them.

The result put Forst in third position in the Premier League, the same point with Arsenal in second and four points above Chelsea in fourth place.
