Plays first half in draw
Kayode registered one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Sunderland.
Analysis: Kayode had limited time to influence proceedings, recording one shot, one cross and one interception across his 45 minutes before Brentford made three changes at the interval. The right-back already has one goal through three Premier League appearances, showing he can provide some attacking output from the position. Aaron Hickey's introduction at halftime does, however, give Brentford another option on the right and creates competition for Kayode's starting role.
Four crosses in tie
Kayode recorded one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United.
Analysis: Kayode played 88 minutes at right-back before being replaced by Callum Wilson in the closing stages, delivering four crosses of which one was accurate as Brentford's primary outlet down the right flank against a Leeds side that defended well in their own half throughout. He did not register a shot but contributed to Brentford's sustained pressure during the first half, helping the Bees control the possession at Elland Road. Kayode has now started both of Brentford's Premier League fixtures this season, providing the defensive and attacking balance that manager Keith Andrews requires from the right-back position.
