It was only apt that Taiwo Awoniyi will be the man to save Nottingham Forest from Premier League relegation this past weekend, while Gift Orban delivered UEFA Europa Conference League ticket to Gent with his 20th goal of the season.
5.Jerome Akor
The former Flying Eagles striker proved yet again why he is “the hottest striker in Norway” with his seventh league goal in as many matches for Lillestrom. However, home team Lillestrom fell 2-1 to Sarpsborg 08. The striker’s week did not end well though after Lillestrom lost 2-0 to Brann in the Cup Final.

4.Victor Boniface
Another former Flying Eagles striker was on target for Belgian club Union St.Gilloise to draw 1-1 with Genk in the UEFA Champions League playoffs. It was his second goal in the playoffs that will determine the champions of Belgium as well as the teams who will feature in the Champions League as well as the UEFA Europa League. Union are now level on 45 points with leaders Antwerp, who fell 2-0 at defending champions Club Brugge. Can Boniface goals crown his modest club champions of Belgium?
3.Ademola Lookman
The Super Eagles forward returned from an injury layoff to provide an assist for Atalanta to beat Verona 3-1. The home victory has revived his team’s hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League, which will now depend on front runners Inter Milan losing their last two matches, while they win theirs.
2.Gift Orban
This sensational sharp shooter delivered another Conference League ticket for Gent, but his 20-goal tally will now most certainly provide a jackpot in transfer fee for the Belgian club. There are concrete offers for the explosive striker and it is now just a question of where he will take his shooting boots to. Gent will do with the huge profit they will make from this summer transfer.
1.Taiwo Awoniyi
The Super Eagles striker has justified his transfer to England by scoring the goals that ensured Nottingham Forest stay up in the Premier League after a long-awaited return from Championship football. It was only most fitting that he will grab the winner against Arsenal at Forest rocking home ground that will save his team from the dreaded drop as well as crown Manchester City champions again. This was his ninth goal in the Premier League after back-to-back braces against Chelsea and Southampton. A further breakdown of his nine goals showed they provided 16 of the 37 points Forest have so far recorded.
