Creates rare chance
Ajer had one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Liverpool.
Analysis: Ajer created a chance from center-back during Saturday's rout. That's a surprise in general, the fact he did it in a match with two people sent off is even moreso. Ajer is a strong defender but he doesn't generally offer much going forward, so most of his upside comes from the volume he can accrue behind the ball.
Scores equalizer vs. Villa
Ajer scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 84th minute.
Analysis: Despite playing as a center-back, Ajer broke the lines from his own half and found himself inside the box, slotting a shot into Zion Suzuki's near post to even things up for the Bees. This was Ajer's first goal of the Premier League campaign, but don't expect the Norwegian defender to be a regular scorer for the Bees. He has far more value from a defensive standpoint, as evidenced by his average of 7.0 clearances per game in the current campaign.
