Brandon Thomas-Asante scored in West Brom's 1-1 draw with Leeds United in the Sky Bet Championship on Friday evening. 

Brandon Thomas-Asante started the game at Elland Road and lasted 76 minutes.

For the majority of the opening minutes, Albion was up against it. Leeds came the closest when Joe Gelhardt's deflected shot hit the post after 26 minutes.

Darnell Furlong diverted Phillips' threatening low cross wide at the back post as halftime drew near, but despite a largely resolute performance, it stayed scoreless at the interval.

After the break, the Baggies came out with renewed energy and struck the post after Illan Meslier wonderfully stopped Jed Wallace's strike.

In the 52nd minute, Brandon Thomas-Asante's attempt from the centre of the box to the centre of the goal following a corner gave West Brom the lead.

Coach Corberan's side could only hold out until the 72nd minute when Ayling converted Dan James' cross to make it 1-1.

West Brom will play Middlesbrough in their next league game.
