Hull City and Brentford played out a 1-1 draw at the MKM Stadium, with Ajayi the standout performer for the home side. The Tigers held their own against the Bees, earning a valuable point in their Championship campaign.

Ajayi the difference for Hull

Ajayi was the star man for Hull City, turning in a performance that caught the eye. His energy and direct running gave Brentford plenty to think about, and he was central to the Tigers' best moments.
