Jamie Carragher has compared Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi to former Chelsea forward Didier Drogba for his first half performance vs Southampton.
The 25-year-old was the beneficiary of good work by Brennan Johnson to put Forest in the lead in the 18th minute. It got better for the Reds and Awoniyi just three minutes later when he turned well to put the ball beyond Alex McCarthy in the Southampton goal.
It was in analysing the goal during the half time break that Sky Sports pundit Carragher made the comparison. He reminded me of Drogba as soon as I saw the goal,” he said on Monday Night Football.
