Super Eagles defender Semi Ajayi played all 90 minutes for promotion-chasing West Bromwich Albion against Fulham at the Hawthorne as the baggies promotion suffered a setback on Tuesday.

The former Arsenal defender was in his best element and helped the baggies to keep the oppositions’ attack at bay.

While Ajayi had a solid individual performance, West Brom failed to break down their opponents as they settled a goalless draw.

The result is a huge disappointment for Ajayi and his teammates who are facing a risk of missing out in automatic promotion back to the premier league.

The result means the Baggies maintained their second position on the log, but they remain four points behind Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United with few games remaining.

The Slaven Bilic’s men could also see their four points lead ahead of third-placed Brentford cut to one should the latter beat Preston North End on Wednesday.

West Brom are now condemned to get results against Huddersfield Town on Friday.
