Super Eagles defender Semi Ajayi has continued his outstanding early‑season form, impressing once again as Hull City earned a valuable 2–2 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, 12 September 2026.
Ajayi, who was named Man of the Match after scoring in Hull City’s famous 2–0 victory over Manchester United on 22 August 2026, delivered another composed and commanding display at the back.
Against Chelsea, the Nigerian defender was strong in tackles, won several important duels, and helped Hull City stay competitive against a difficult and relentless Chelsea attack. His positioning, calmness under pressure, and leadership were evident throughout the match.
Ajayi’s consistency continues to be a major boost for Hull City, with the Super Eagles centre‑back proving once again why he has become one of the club’s most reliable performers.
