Awoniyi, who joined Forest from Union Berlin in June 2022, had only been on the pitch for five minutes having come on as a late substitute for Ibrahim Sangare.

Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis indicated in an Instagram, external post that his decision to march on to the pitch at the full-time whistle had been in part due to his view on how the injury suffered by Awoniyi had been handled.

“Everybody – coaching staff, players, supporters and including myself – we were frustrated around the injury of Taiwo and the medical staff’s misjudgement on Taiwo’s ability to continue the game,” Marinakis said.

“This is natural, this is a demonstration of the passion we feel for our club.”

Awoniyi, who was at Liverpool between 2015 and 2021 but never made a senior appearance, has scored once in the Premier League for Forest this season.
