Jurgen Klopp hails 'sensational' ex-Liverpool striker after setting new Nottingham Forest record

Jurgen Klopp is impressed by the "sensational development" of former Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi after he scored the winning goal for Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

The Nigerian international broke the deadlock at the City Ground in the 55th minute to give the Reds a surprise lead. The depleted visitors could not find a way back into the game as Steve Cooper's men sealed their second win of the season to lift them off the bottom of the table.

Awoniyi's winner created a little slice of history as he became the first Forest player to score in each of his first three Premier League starts at the City Ground, according to Opta. His two other strikes came in the 1-0 win over West Ham in August and the 3-2 defeat to Fulham last month.
