Olaoluwa Aina closed out the show at City Ground, Saturday, smashing home a long range shot to seal Nottingham Forest’s 3-0 victory against West Ham, in the Premier League.
Aina featured for 89 minutes in his 9th league appearance for Forest this season, and the left-back was his side’s standout performer.
His first goal of the season was a delight and it wrapped up a good day in the office for Nuno Espirito Santo’s men as they matched further up in the league standings.
In the 10 league matches played the is season, Forest have lost just once, and have the second best defensive stats of the early campaign.
Other fixtures involving Nigerian players across the centers saw Leicester fight back to earn a point against Ipswich Town.
Wilfred Ndidi had a slow start on the day and managed oy 71minutes before he was replaced.
At St. Mary’s, Joe Aribo and Paul Onuachu were both second half substitutes when the Saints hosted Everton.
Southampton showed some resilience and managed their first win of the league campaign.
Aribo was brought on after restart (46), while Onuachu (90+3′) was handed a cameo.
The forward who is yet to get off the mark for Southampton and has seen very limited game time enter the Referee’s book for an infringement.
