Ismael on Super Eagle Ajayi's goal for West Bromwich Albion: 'It was emotional... the best'

The Nigeria international struck at the death to win maximum points for the Baggies in the English second-tier assignment

West Bromwich Albion manager Valerien Ismael has discussed the last-minute goal by Semi Ajayi against Peterborough United in Saturday's Championship game.

After a humiliating 6-0 loss to Arsenal in the League Cup, the Baggies had to bounce back in their league assignment away at Weston Homes Stadium. It seemed they were going to drop points for the second time this season before Ajayi struck in the final minute of added time to seal the win.

"[The late Ajayi goal] was so emotional," Ismael told the club's official portal later on.
