Brentford’s Ajer shines in new role

Player’s position change

Kristoffer Ajer, a Norwegian player, showcased his versatility on Monday by stepping into the role of a left-back for Brentford. Originally known for playing as a center-back, Ajer had expressed his desire to maintain his role or potentially seek a new club. His unexpected shift did not hinder his performance.

Strong performance

Adjusting to his new position, Ajer delivered a standout performance, winning more duels than any other player on the field, based on Sofascore statistics. His noteworthy performance follows another impressive display in a recent match for Norway against Israel, leading to a 5-0 victory.

Match highlights

The game against West Ham saw Igor Thiago put Brentford on the scoreboard first, although another of his goals was disallowed due to offside. Mathias Jensen secured the win with a late goal in injury time, solidifying Brentford’s rise in the league standings.

West Ham’s struggles

West Ham continues to face challenges, currently positioned second to last with only four points from eight matches. If their performance does not improve, they risk sinking further in the standings.
