Super Eagles stars lit up the Premier League on Sunday as Wilfred Ndidi, Ola Aina, and Taiwo Awoniyi featured in an electrifying 2\u20132 draw between Nottingham Forest and Leicester City.<\/p>\n
Ndidi pulled the strings for Leicester in midfield for the full ninety minutes, marking his 28th appearance this season.<\/p>\n
The Nigerian has contributed four assists so far in a strong campaign for the Foxes.<\/p>\n
At the other end, Aina continued his solid form with his 33rd outing for Forest, picking up a yellow card in a gritty display.<\/p>\n
Awoniyi, returning from injury setbacks, came off the bench in the 83rd minute to add firepower to Forest\u2019s late push.<\/p>\n
Leicester drew first blood when Conor Coady netted a rare goal in the 16th minute. But Forest responded quickly through Morgan Gibbs-White\u2019s clever header from Elanga\u2019s delivery.<\/p>\n
Chris Wood appeared to have sealed it for Forest with a bullet header in the 56th minute, notching his 20th league goal of the season. Yet a moment of magic from Buonanotte in the 81st minute ensured parity, and a dramatic late save by Matz Sels denied Forest a sensational comeback.<\/p>\n
It was a fiercely contested clash that saw Nigerian talents play key roles in a result that keeps both clubs battling for vital points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
