Ajayi shines, Diagne scores as West Bromwich Albion stun 10-man Chelsea

Semi Ajayi delivered a fine defensive display while Mbaye Diagne scored as West Bromwich Albion secured a 5-2 win over Chelsea in Saturday’s Premier League game.

Ajayi recently helped the Nigeria national team qualify for the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations and was handed a starting role in the Baggies’ first game after the international break.

The centre-back gave a good account of himself in the encounter while Senegal international Diagne found the back of the net to help Sam Allardyce‘s men increase their chances of avoiding relegation at the end of the season.
