Scores, assists in EFL Cup
Awoniyi scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Plymouth in the EFL Cup.
Analysis: Awoniyi didn't waste time making his presence felt, breaking the deadlock in the third minute to give Coventry the lead and later assisting Jack Rudoni two minutes later to double the team's advantage. Awoniyi was one of the latest signings Coventry made for the new season, and this performance should strengthen his claim for regular minutes at the EPL level.
Logs brace
Awoniyi scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) in Monday's 3-1 victory over Chelsea.
Analysis: Awoniyi was responsible for the third goal to give Nottingham Forest more breathing room in Monday's win. The forward should be active against Aston Villa in the second leg of the UEL semifinal, though there was only one goal combined in the first leg so this could be a tough defense for Awoniyi to crack.
