Ajayi shines as West Brom continue Championship domination

Semi Ajayi delivered an impressive defensive performance to help West Bromwich Albion secure a 1-0 victory against Middlesbrough in Saturday’s Championship game.

The Super Eagles defender was afforded his 12th league appearance this season and helped his side keep a clean sheet at Riverside Stadium.

After defeating Cardiff City just before the international break, the Baggies did enough to continue their impressive form.

The first-half ended goalless with both sides failing to convert the few chances that came their way.

After the restart, however, Hal Robson-Kanu broke the deadlock in the 82nd minute to help West Brom secure maximum points.
