'The qualities we brought him here for' — Lampard hails Awoniyi
Coventry City manager Frank Lampard has lavished praise on Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi for his impressive performance in the Carabao Cup against Plymouth.
Awoniyi, who was making his first start for Coventry, registered a goal and an assist as the newly promoted Premier League side edged the lower division side 4-2 in the second round of the League Cup.
The 29-year-old scored the opener after just three minutes on the clock following a sublime flick from Ghanaian international Caleb Yirenkyi.
The former Union Berlin striker teed up Jack Rudoni for Coventry City's second goal of the game two minutes later.
