Serge Aurier thinks he's peak David Beckham here with his crossing. He swings a beauty in for Taiwo Awoniyi again but Anel Ahmedhodzic deflects it wide before Awoniyi bags.
I think they're waiting for Liverpool to make a bid first.

Taiwo Awoniyi has Nottingham Forest's last six Premier League goals - one in each of their last six games.
