Taiwo Awoniyi’s goal celebration against Southampton had a personal meaning for the Nottingham Forest striker.
The summer signing netted twice in Monday night’s thrilling 4-3 victory to take his tally for the season to seven. After bagging his first, he lifted his shirt to reveal a message which read: “Hallelujah Hosanna Psalm 3 v 5 Peace.”
The quote referenced is: “I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the Lord sustains me.” Awoniyi was delighted to be able to share the message - and to help the Reds to three points which lifted them out of the relegation zone.
