Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher, has compared Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi to Chelsea legend, Didier Drogba.
Awoniyi bagged a brace in Nottingham Forest’s 4-3 victory against Southampton at the City Ground on Monday night.
Steve Cooper’s side moved to 16th position, three points above the relegation zone following the win.
The 25-year-old added the second three minutes later. He turned well to put the ball beyond Alex McCarthy in the Southampton goal.
“He (Awoniyi) reminded me of Drogba as soon as I saw the goal,” Carragher said on Monday Night Football.

“Absolutely brilliant. I’ve been in that position as a defender.
“The turn – and bang. Brilliant.”
