Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi, said he was pleased to have scored in their game against West Ham and giving the Premier League returnees a much deserved win after 23 years in the Championship.
Awoniyi playing his second game for Forest scored from a rebound and that goal sealed all the three points for the club.
“I’m really happy about the goal – it was a dream for me to score and for the team to win,” Awoniyi told BBC Sport.
“As a striker you just have to be ready for anything around the goal. It’s all about getting ready whether you are starting or coming on from the bench.
“We must say a very big thank you to the fans because from the beginning they got behind the team and you can see how it kept the team going until the last minute.
“I’m really happy about it because it took me a long journey to get back to the Premier League and I’m very, very proud of myself.
“The win will give more confidence to the team, it will keep us going for the next game. I believe we will have a great season as a team.”
Nottingham Forest will play against Everton next weekend.
