Super Eagles duo of Taiwo Awoniyi and Ola Aina were missing in action as Nottingham Forest defeated Luton Town 1-0 in Saturday’s Premier League fixture.
Awoniyi, who has made 17 appearances, has netted six goals and bagged three assists this ongoing season for Nottingham Forest.
The visitor took the lead in the 34th minute through Chris Wood’s brilliant right foot shot.
With the game looking like it would end in goal, Luton leveled parity in the 89th minute through Luke Berry’s goal to send the home supporters into ecstasy.
The draw means Nottingham Forest sit 15th on 27 points while Luton Town sit 18th on 21 points in the league table.
Elsewhere, Tottenham missed the chance to move into the Premier League top four as Rodrigo Muniz scored two more goals to fire Fulham to an impressive 3-0 victory at Craven Cottage.
Brazilian Muniz found the net either side of Sasa Lukic’s first strike for the Cottagers to take his total to seven goals in his past seven games.
The striker slotted home in the first half after controlling Antonee Robinson’s cross and then reacted quickest to bundle in the loose ball at a second-half corner in a fully deserved win for the home side.
Spurs, who would have gone above fourth-placed Aston Villa with victory, were surprisingly lacklustre from the outset. They would have gone behind early on if not for blocks by Radu Dragusin and Cristian Romero to deny Andreas Pereira, while Guglielmo Vicario also saved well from Lukic.
