Ghanaian forward Brandon Thomas-Asante earns Championship Team of the Week spot
Ghanaian forward Brandon Thomas-Asante has been included in the English Championship Team of the Week after an outstanding display for Coventry City in their emphatic 5-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday.
The 25-year-old striker was the star of the show at Hillsborough, netting twice within the opening half-hour to secure Coventry’s dominance.
His clinical performance not only earned him widespread praise but also a call-up to the Ghana national team for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Thomas-Asante wasted no time making an impact, opening the scoring in the third minute with a composed close-range finish.
He struck again in the 33rd minute, showcasing his agility and composure as he weaved past two defenders before firing confidently past the goalkeeper.
His brace set the tone for a rampant performance from Frank Lampard’s side, who dismantled their hosts with precision and attacking flair.
Thomas-Asante’s work rate, intelligent movement, and finishing ability made him virtually unplayable throughout the encounter.
The Championship’s official Team of the Week recognised his contributions, placing him alongside several standout performers from the latest round of fixtures.
Coventry’s dominance was further underlined with three other players also earning places in the selection — Haji Wright, Matt Grimes, and Bobby Thomas — all of whom played key roles in the side’s commanding win.
Elsewhere in the Team of the Week lineup, Hull City were well represented through Ivor Pandur, Oliver McBurnie, and David Akintola, whose performances helped their team to an important result over the weekend.
Watford’s Jeremy Ngakia was also included after impressing with his defensive stability and forward thrusts on the flank.
Rounding off the selection were Blackburn Rovers defender Sean McLoughlin, Queens Park Rangers’ Jimmy Dunne, and Zak Sturge, who all contributed significantly to their respective sides’ performances.
Thomas-Asante’s inclusion caps off a remarkable week for the striker, whose recent form has caught the attention of both club and country.
Having recently secured a return to international duty with Ghana, his brace and subsequent recognition serve as a timely reminder of his growing influence in English football.
As Coventry continue their push for promotion, the in-form forward’s confidence and consistency could prove decisive in maintaining the Sky Blues’ momentum through the demanding Championship campaign.
