Ajayi’s West Brom overtake Leeds United as Championship leaders

Semi Ajayi’s West Bromwich Albion brightened their Premier League promotion chances with a 2-2 draw against Charlton Athletic.

Playing against the Addicks where he began his professional career, the defender put in a fine display to help the Baggies earn a crucial away point.

West Brom took the lead thanks to Kenneth Zohore’s 22nd-minute effort. The Danish forward won the ball off Tom Lockyer, scooted into the box before firing past Dillon Phillips.

However, the lead lasted just six minutes as Josh Davison headed home the leveller past Sam Johnstone.
