Nigeria’s Super Eagles defender Semi Ajayi has expressed his delight after scoring for Hull City in their 2-0 victory over Manchester United.
Ajayi opened the scoring for the newly promoted side, putting Hull City ahead and setting them on their way to a memorable victory over the Premier League giants.
Speaking to TNT Sports after the game, the Nigerian international described the goal as the perfect way to cap Hull City’s impressive start to the encounter.
“It was amazing. It kind of capped off the really good start that we had. We had a couple of chances before that which we didn’t manage to put away, but obviously that one got us into the lead, and also gave us something to protect, but also build on,” Ajayi said.
“I’m buzzing to get the goal to get us underway. I’m happy it left us getting three points.”
The victory represents a major statement from Hull City, who stunned Manchester United on Saturday with an impressive performance.
