Brandon Thomas-Asante, forward for Coventry City
Black Stars forward Brandon Thomas-Asante continued his fine form in front of goal since the start of the year.
The 26-year-old has been in phenomenal form in 2025, netting three goals in just seven appearances, with an impressive three strikes in his last four English Championship outings.
With such an impressive run, it was no surprise that Coventry manager Frank Lampard named him in the starting lineup for the fifth consecutive match against Swansea City on Saturday, February 1, 2025.
Thomas-Asante repaid Lampard’s faith in style.
Just 17 minutes into the first half, he set up teammate Ellis Simms, who made no mistake rifling the ball into the net to put Coventry 1-0 up.
The Sky Blues seemed set to take their lead into halftime until Thomas-Asante produced a moment of brilliance to double their advantage.
A loose ball from the Swansea defense fell into Thomas-Asante’s path about 35 meters from goal. Without hesitation, he struck a first-time shot that soared over goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux and nestled into the net—a truly spectacular finish.
The forward received a standing ovation as he was substituted in the 83rd minute. Coventry held on to secure all three points, marking their first win over Swansea in more than 17 years.
