CRYSTAL PALACE VS NOTTINGHAM FOREST: In form Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi continued where he left off by scoring again to secure a point for his team in a 1-1 draw. His goal against Palace took his goal tally to double figures (10 goals) making it 6 goals in 4 matches. He also scored the only goal that ensured that Forest will be playing in the Premier League next season. Awoniyi also becomes the first player for Nottingham Forest to hit double figures in the Premier League era.
SALERNITANA VS UDINESE: Nigerian defender William Troost-Ekong scored the winner that secured all three points for his team in a five goal thriller which his side won 3-2 at home. His goal came in the 96 minute and that is his first goal for the Italian team where he is on loan from Championship side Watford. With his outstanding performances, Salernitana might want to secure his signature on a permanent basis.
BOLOGNA VS NAPOLI: Napoli kingpin Victor Osimhen increased his goal tally in the race for Seria A top scorer award.Despite already winning the league; the Napoli man was still hungry for personal glory. Osimhen scored a brace in a 2-2 draw away at Bologna where he also won the man of the match award. His brace took his goals for the season to 25 four ahead of second place Lautaro Martinez who has 21 goals. With just one match left to play for the season it is unlikely that the Argentine will surpass the Napoli striker; Osimhen’s brace looks more than enough to clinch the top scorer award.
