Taiwo Awoniyi has called for greater clinicality from Coventry City after their disappointing 1-0 defeat to Hull City, as fellow Super Eagles forwards Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman enjoyed contrasting fortunes in Europe on Saturday.
Awoniyi started Coventry’s first home Premier League game in 25 years at the Coventry Building Society Arena and was involved in several of the hosts’ best attacking moments.
The Nigerian striker came close to opening his account on three occasions in an entertaining first half, but Coventry were unable to turn their possession and chances into goals.
They were eventually punished in the 82nd minute when Liam Millar struck on the counter-attack to give Hull, featuring fellow Nigeria international Semi Ajayi, all three points.
For Awoniyi, the defeat was a case of Coventry failing to make the most of their opportunities.
