Semi Ajayi Helps West Brom Defeat Bristol City At Home

Super Eagles defender, Semi Ajayi helped West Bromwich Albion keep a clean sheet as they romped to a 3-0 away win at Bristol on Saturday.

Ajayi played a vital role as Slaven Bilic's men stretched their unbeaten run to five games in the second division.

The Nigerian paired Egypt's Ahmed Hegazi at the heart of defence as Hal Robson-Kanu's double and Callum Robinson's goal gave the Baggies maximum points at Ashton Gate.

It was Ajayi’s 32nd appearance in the Championship this season, and he managed two interceptions and one clearance without conceding any foul.

The victory extended West Brom's lead at the summit of the Championship table to 66 points from 34 games.
