“It’s better to be out of the bottom three than in it for sure but it’s one step at a time. I really challenged the players to get the first away win and challenged myself and the staff, we’re all in it together.

“We had a couple of chances in the last two games to get out of the bottom three, now we’re out, but the objective is not just to stay out but move up the table, but that’s easier said than done and we will do everything we can to get results.

“There’s a long way to go and tough moments make you stronger,” he said.

Awoniyi scored the only goal which earned Nottingham Forest their first away win this season.

Forest with the win went up to 15th place on the league table and now have 17 points, with Everton replacing them in the bottom three.

The Super Eagles striker has now scored four goals in 16 appearance in the English topflight this season.
