Super Eagles trio of Taiwo Awoniyi, Ola Aina and Gabriel Osho were not in action as Luton Town and Nottingham Forest clashed in the PL.
It was an afternoon of mixed emotions for the Nigerian contingent as relegation-threatened Luton Town snatched a dramatic 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest in a pulsating Premier League clash at Kenilworth Road.
Super Eagles stars Taiwo Awoniyi and Ola Aina were not involved for Forest as Luke Berry’s stoppage-time leveller denied them an away win on Saturday.
Nottingham Forest suffered another defeat to Brighton leaving them in 17th position on the League table, three points away from the relegation zone.

Chris Wood opened the scoring for the visitors when he netted his ninth of the season to give the Reds the lead.
However, Nuno Santo’s side couldn’t capitalise on their dominance and were made to pay by Berry’s last-gasp intervention for the relegation-threatened Hatters.

The result leaves Forest still not quite safe in 17th place on 25 points, while Luton remain deep in the mire just three points behind them.
For the Nigerian contingent for both teams, Awoniyi and Aina were not named for Forest while Luton were also without the injured Gabriel Osho.

Berry joy for Luton late on against Forest.
While disappointed by the late sucker punch, the point does at least nudge Forest a step closer to mathematical safety with nine games to go.
With Luton desperately scrapping to survive, this could prove a vital point gained for both sides in their respective battles come the season’s end.
