Semi Ajayi has praised Hull City's character after they recovered from a recent defeat to claim a 1-1 draw against Brentford in the Premier League at the MKM Stadium on Sunday.

Having suffered a 1-0 loss to Fulham the previous week, Hull City showed real determination to hold their own against the visitors, earning Ajayi recognition as both the Premier League and Hull City Player of the Match.

Brentford responded with greater urgency after the break, and Dango Ouattara drew them level in the 63rd minute, cancelling out Hull City's first-half lead.

Ajayi pleased despite dropped points

Despite the frustration of failing to hold on for a home win, Ajayi remained upbeat about what the result represented for his side.
