Former Premier League stars, Andy Cole and David Seaman, have criticized the goal-scoring chance wasted by Nigeria international, Taiwo Awoniyi during Nottingham Forest’s Premier League 2-0 defeat against Manchester United at the City Ground on Sunday.
Awoniyi was presented with a chance to level for Nottingham just before the break.
But the attacker ended up hammering the ball over the crossbar, which Cole and Seaman were not impressed with.
“That was a side foot all day long for me. David de Gea’s left hand, that is where I’m going. He laid it perfectly for him. He [Awoniyi] doesn’t need to go wide of Diogo Dalot because he is in a good position,” Cole told Premier League Productions.
“If you touch him, it is a penalty. So he can actually gamble and take a touch. If he takes a touch and pushes it past him, it is a penalty.
On his part, Seaman said, “I think he should be more composed [Awoniyi missed the chance].
“It just looks like he is putting his foot through the ball rather than guiding it into the side. It was a terrible touch there. It was not fantastic. Just smash it.”
