What did Murphy say about Awoniyi, the striker for Forest, during the crucial victory over West Ham? Let’s investigate more closely.
What Pat Murphy said about Nottingham Forest star Taiwo Awoniyi
The BBC commentator seems to be a big fan of the Nigerian talisman, it seems.
When Awoniyi returned from a groin injury, he didn’t take long to get back on the goal trail.
The 26-year-old, who has three goals against West Ham so far, just loves to score against the Hammers.
At the stroke of half-time, Nicolas Dominguez made a fantastic pass that resulted in the brilliant selection of this striker.
As the striker gave the Reds the lead in yesterday’s match, Murphy gushed about Forest star Awoniyi live on the broadcast.
He said on BBC Radio 5 Live, “Awoniyi executed the finish expertly.”
“Areola, who had made three outstanding saves, one of which was from Awoniyi, was powerless to stop it, and Antonio nearly scored for West Ham on the other end.
“The forest should come first.”
Awoniyi left the game in the second half, but the Forest striker later stated that he was simply tired. In reality, he’s doing fine.
