Semi Ajayi opens West Bromwich Albion account in Fulham draw

Semi Ajayi scored his first goal for West Bromwich Albion in their 1-1 draw with Fulham in Saturday’s Championship game.

The Nigeria international has continued to impress since teaming up with the Baggies from Rotherham United in the summer.

Against the Cottagers, the defender was again at his best to help Slaven Bilic’s men avoid defeat at Craven Cottage, scoring the equalising goal.

After a goalless first half, Anthony Knockaert broke the deadlock in the 49th minute after he was set up by Ivan Cavaleiro.

With the game looking to end in the way of the hosts, Ajayi scored the all-important equaliser in the 80th minute.
