Ghanaian forward Brandon Thomas-Asante has shared his excitement after scoring to inspire West Bromwich Albion to victory over Coventry City in the English Championship.

The 24-year-old made substitute appearance when his outfit cruised to a 2-0 away victory over Coventry on Monday night.

Thomas-Asante climbed off the bench in the 53rd minute, replacing Nathaniel Chalobah and made a good account of himself by hitting the back of the net to seal win for West Brom.

The visitors opened the scoring in the first half through Grady Diangana before Thomas-Asante expertly curled home from a Matt Phillips assist to seal victory.

“You know how agonising those few games were where I didn’t get on the scoresheet, so I’m really happy to be back on there again,” said Thomas-Asante after the game.

“With Matty (Phillips), you know the quality you are going to get game-in, game-out. It’s an honour to be playing with him.

“I ran as soon as he was on the ball, he found me and I just tried to get it past the goalkeeper. I’m happy that it went it, I’ll take it!

“I’m not a conventional striker, but obviously scoring is the major thing for me. If I don’t score, then I’m never fully satisfied.

“I also love to be involved and do something on the ball as well. I felt like, performance-wise, the things the coaches have been working on me with, I can see little improvements."

The English-born Ghanaian attacker has now netted four times in 12 games in the English Championship this season, providing one assist.

Thomas Asante remains eligible to play for the Black Stars of Ghana as he is yet to make an appearance at any level for England.
