Brandon Thomas-Asante played a starring role as Coventry City secured a historic first victory over Swansea City with a 2-0 win at the Swansea.com Stadium.
The visitors took the lead in the 17th minute when Thomas-Asante teed up Ellis Simms, who calmly slotted home from the center of the box. Coventry’s intensity kept Swansea on the back foot, and they doubled their advantage just before halftime. Thomas-Asante picked up the ball outside the box and unleashed a stunning right-footed strike into the top left corner, leaving the home crowd stunned.
Despite dominating possession (57%), Swansea struggled to break Coventry’s resilient defense. The hosts failed to register a single big chance, as Mark Robins’ men expertly managed the game.
Thomas-Asante’s performance was pivotal, marking his fourth league goal of the season. Coventry’s victory not only ended their winless streak against Swansea (0W, 5D, 6L before the match) but also provided a confidence boost ahead of their upcoming clash with Leeds United on February 5.
