Nottingham Forest paid a touching tribute to Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi ahead of their Premier League encounter with West Ham on Sunday, demonstrating solidarity with the player during a difficult period.
Before kickoff at the City Ground, the entire Forest squad warmed up wearing blank white shirts that carried a heartfelt message on the front: Were all with you Taiwo.
The back of each shirt bore Awoniyis name and his iconic No. 9 jersey number.
The emotional moment continued into the match itself. After opening the scoring, midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White celebrated by lifting Awoniyis shirt aloft, dedicating the goal to his teammate.
Awoniyi, who has made 27 appearances for Forest across all competitions this season, has struggled for form, managing just one goal.
