We should have committed a foul against Awoniyi, Hutter says

Borussia Monchengladbach coach Adi Hutter says his team should have committed a professional foul to stop Taiwo Awoniyi from scoring in Union Berlin’s 2-1 win in the Bundesliga on Sunday.

Awoniyi doubled Union Berlin’s lead in the 41st minute. In a well-executed counter-attack, Max Kruse picked the Nigeria international who smashed a stunner into the top corner to give his side a huge advantage.

Mochengladbach would score a late goal but it wasn’t enough to stop Awoniyi’s side from claiming all three points.

“It is an unfortunate and unlucky defeat for us because I donโ€™t think we deserved it based on our form,” Hutter told the club’s website.

“Unfortunately, we conceded off two individual errors. On the first goal [scored by Giesselmann], we were dispossessed far too easily and on the second, [scored by Awoniyi] we should have committed a professional foul.”

Awoniyi has been in fine form this season, with five goals and two assists in six competitive games. However, the 24-year-old was excluded by Nigeria’s head coach Gernot Rohr when he released his squad list for the World Cup qualifiers against Liberia and Cape Verde in September.
