Three Nigerians involved as Leicester thrash Nottingham Forest

Three Super Eagles stars were involved as the Foxes defeated The Reds and left their bottom place

Taiwo Awoniyi was involved for 62 minutes as Leicester thrashed Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

James Maddison opened the floodgates in the 25th minute of the game before Harvey Barnes scored the second two minutes later.

Maddison scored the third of the game in the 35th minute before Zambia’s Patson Daka scored the fourth in the 73rd minute of the encounter.

Emmanuel Dennis came on for Awoniyi in the second half but had little contribution to the game as Nottingham Forest got rooted to the bottom of the log.

Nottingham Forest have a goal difference of minus fifteen times and have lost six times this season in eight games. Awoniyi has already scored twice this season but struggles to help keep The Reds afloat while Dennis is yet to get enough opportunities.

Steve Cooper’s job may be on the line and the next few hours will determine his future at the club.
