Ajayi Delivers as Hull Beat Millwall; Azeez’s PL Dream on Hold

Semi Ajayi returned to the Hull City starting lineup — and delivered. Hull beat Millwall 2-0 on aggregate in the Championship playoff semi-final on Monday. Ajayi, benched in the first leg, played the full 90 in the second. Composed throughout.

Hull are at Wembley. Millwall are done for the season.

Femi Azeez was on the other side of it. The Millwall winger finishes the campaign with 11 goals and 8 assists in 35 appearances — numbers that have Brighton and Bournemouth monitoring him — but the direct route to the Premier League through promotion is closed.

It doesn’t have to end there. A transfer window opens. The interest is real. But the dream of reaching the top flight next season belongs to Ajayi’s Hull City, not Azeez’s Millwall.
