The 26-year-old had a memorable birthday celebration as he came off the bench and pulled one back for Nottingham Forest in their 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in Saturday’s Premier League fixture at the Emirates Stadium.
Although he could not salvage a draw for his team, the goal saw him equal a 28-year-old record, becoming the only second Nottingham Forest player to score in five consecutive Premier League appearances since Stan Collymore did in 1995.
Awoniyi and his wife welcomed their first child, a boy named Emmanuel on October 16, 2020, two years after the duo walked down the aisle in June 2018.
