Thomas Frank praised summer signing Kristoffer Ajer after he inspired Brentford to a second successive Premier League clean sheet at Crystal Palace.
Centre-back Ajer joined Brentford from Celtic in a club record £17.5m deal and it looks like being money well spent.
The Norwegian, 23, has slotted seamlessly into Frank’s defence and only increased their determination to keep the ball out of their net.
On a couple of occasions against Crystal Palace Ajer celebrated defensive actions as if they were goals, letting out a defiant roar after one successful tackle and then bumping chests with Sergi Canos when they saw out another moment of danger in the second half.
