In a noteworthy roundup from Sportblog247.com, several Nigeria-eligible players left their mark in Tuesday night’s Premier League action.

Super Eagles forward Taiwo Awoniyi made a triumphant return to action, scoring for Nottingham Forest despite their 2-1 loss to Arsenal. Awoniyi found the net in the 89th minute, capitalizing on a loose ball in the penalty area and delivering a powerful shot beyond David Raya. With this goal, the former Liverpool striker has now scored five times in 11 appearances in the Premier League this season, showcasing his consistent goal-scoring form against Arsenal.

French-Nigerian winger Michael Olise, returning from injury, had a stellar performance, contributing two assists and a goal in Crystal Palace’s match. His first assist in the 17th minute set up Eberechi Eze to level the score. Olise continued his impact with another assist in the 27th minute, connecting with Eze once again. Notably, Opta statisticians revealed that Olise has assisted Eze seven times in the Premier League, tying a Crystal Palace record for most assists to a teammate. The 22-year-old wasn’t finished for the night, scoring a brilliant goal from outside the box in the 67th minute, securing a 3-2 victory for Crystal Palace. Olise’s remarkable performance brings his season tally to six goals and three assists.

In another standout performance, Elijah Adebayo secured a hat trick for Luton Town in their impressive 4-0 win against Brighton & Hove Albion. Adebayo opened the scoring in the first minute with a header and added two more goals before the end of the first half and in the 56th minute. Opta statisticians noted that Adebayo’s hat trick marked a historic moment, making him the first player to achieve this feat for Luton Town in the English top-flight in 34 years and the first to do so at Kenilworth Road since 1988. With eight goals in 21 appearances this season, Adebayo continues to be a formidable force in the league.
