Super Eagles stars Taiwo Awoniyi and Ola Aina have avoided Premier League relegation after Nottingham Forest secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor on the final day of the season, according to Sportblog247.com.
Coach Nuno Espirito Santo opted to start Awoniyi and Aina on the bench for the decisive match at Turf Moor.
Heading into the final game, Nottingham Forest needed just one point to ensure safety, but they clinched all three points with goals from Chris Wood. This victory solidified their position above Luton Town, who faced a considerable goal difference deficit.
Despite Burnley pulling one back through Josh Cullen in the 72nd minute, Nottingham Forest held on to their lead to secure their Premier League status comfortably. Meanwhile, Luton Town’s 4-2 defeat meant that Forest’s survival was assured without relying on goal difference miracles.
