Review
We needed this! After a close loss (well, at least on paper) to Arsenal last week and with the next two games being away at Man Utd and Chelsea, we really needed 3 points right now. We started great with Awoniyi scoring after 3 minutes but then started to let Sheffield back into it and they got their equalizer three minutes after half time. We got our legs again though and, just a few minutes after coming on, Chris Wood got the winner in the last minute.
Stats:
Taiwo Awoniyi has now scored in his last 6 games.
