Semi Ajayi Awaits Best Goal Verdict In Midweek

Rotherham United of England defender, Semi Ajayi is anxiously looking up to late Wednesday, to know if his wonder goal of the past weekend has been voted best of the lot in Queensland.

 

Sports247.ng gathered that Ajayi’s effort against table-topping Leeds United in the English Championship is among nominees for the best goal in all of England’s second-tier last weekend, such that the Super Eagles star is already getting the biggest spotlight focus of his career.

It would get better for the former Arsenal youth team captain should his goal emerge bet of all, hence his anxiety heading into Wednesday and nerves he is bound to hold until the winner is named later in the day.

As it were, Ajayi’s 28th minute belter at AESSEALNew York Stadium on Saturday was his first goal for Rotherham since netting against Wigan Athletic in a Carabao League Cup match in August 2018.

He will, however, have to ward off pressure from equally brilliant goals from Ipswich Town’s Freddie Sears, Nottingham Forest’s Joe Lolley and Cheltenham Town’s Luke Varney in getting majority votes from fans.
