Ajayi’s West Bromwich Albion lose to Kane’s Tottenham Hotspur

Semi Ajayi was in action for West Bromwich Albion in their 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in Sunday’s Premier League game.

The 27-year-old was handed his 22nd league start this season and emerged as one of the standout performers for his side.

The Nigeria international formed a four-man defence along with Conor Townsend, Kyle Bartley and Lee Peltier and gave a good account of himself.

Senegal international Mbaye Diagne also made his second Premier League appearances for the Baggies in the encounter after joining the side on loan from Galatasaray in January.

The game started with both sides aiming to outwit each other and Tottenham came close to opening the scoring in the 10th minute when Harry Kane sent up Heung-Min Son with a through pass but the 28-year-old’s long-range effort was saved by goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.
