Manager Chris Davies jas hailed Super Eagles Bright Osayi-Samuel as rock-solid, after he was named Man of the Match, as Birmingham City beat West Bromwich Albion 1-0 at the Hawthorns in Saturday’s Championship fixture.
Osayi-Samuel made his ninth appearance in the English second division as a 41st minute pfixture
converted by August Priske sealed the win for Birmingham.
He was rock-solid at right fullback and linked up with his team’s attack.
He won two tackles, made three clearances and completed 36 passes.
“I thought he was excellent,” said Davies. “
He had internationals and didn’t come back to us till fairly late within it all. He was very, very solid.
He picked his moments to break forward, used the ball well, but he’s difficult to beat. He’s been a revelation really this season and the challenge for him is to stay hungry and keep going.
Bright Osayi-Samuel is a leading contender for Blues’ Player of the Season so far. He has started every game and is displaying a level of physical fitness that he simply didn’t have last season.
Birmingham City are now seventh in the English Championship with 14 points from nine matches, six points behind leaders Swansea.
