Published: August 28, 2022England youth international of Nigerian descent Faustino Anjorin was officially named the best player for Huddersfield Town in their 2-2 draw with Semi Ajayi's West Brom in a Championship clash at John Smith's Stadium on Saturday afernoon.
The Chelsea loanee opened his goalscoring account for the season in the 11th minute when he curled home from the edge of the box after the ball was worked to him from a short corner.
