Taiwo Awoniyi is seriously stepping up his game for Nottingham Forest, netting a brace to help the Steve Cooper’s side secure a 2-2 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The Nigerian international single-handedly dismantled Chelsea with two stunning headed goals to keep his side’s hopes of Premier League survival alive.
Braces for both Raheem Sterling and Taiwo Awoniyi saw both sides share the points at Stamford Bridge.
The former Union Berlin hitman handed Forest the lead with his first away goal in the Premier League since the 4th January against Southampton.
The visitors then fell behind, thanks to a brace from Raheem Sterling. Before the never-say-die effort from Awoniyi headed his side back into the game to seal the draw game for Nottingham.
Forest’s Premier League survival prospects received a major boost last time out when they defeated fellow underdog Southampton 4-3 to move out of the relegation zone, and they have since picked up another crucial away point.
The remarkable Super Eagles star, Taiwo Awoniyi has now been involved in nine goals in 15 appearances for Nottingham Forest this season – 8 goals and 1 assist.
Taiwo Awoniyi has scored as many Premier League goals in May as in all the other months combined (4).

The 25-year-old foward is 2 goals away from hitting double figures in the league for Nottingham Forest, not bad for a first Premier League campaign.
