Ajayi's West Bromwich Albion suffer promotion setback after Huddersfield Town defeat

Nigeria's Semi Ajayi and Egypt's Ahmed Hegazi could not stop West Bromwich from bowing to a 2-1 loss against Huddersfield Town in Friday's Championship encounter.

The defeat at the John Smith's Stadium was a massive blow to West Brom's automatic promotion hopes as they are just a point above Said Benrahma’s Brentford in second place, who have a game in hand.

Dara O'Shea's equaliser was not enough to save Slaven Bilic's men as goals from Arsenal loanees Chris Willock and Emile Smith Rowe steered Huddersfield Town to a vital win and out of the relegation waters.
