Brandon Thomas-Asante describes his goal against Tottenham as bittersweet

Ghanaian forward Brandon Thomas-Asante has described his second goal of the 2024–25 season as bittersweet after Coventry City's elimination from the Carabao Cup.

Thomas-Asante’s second goal since joining Coventry City came in the 63rd minute and looked good enough to send Coventry through to the fourth round of the competition.

However, Spurs scored two late goals through Djed Spence in the 88th minute and Brennan Johnson in the 92nd minute to bag the win and qualify to the next round.

The Black Stars forward calmly tucked the ball into the bottom left side of the goal to finish off a brilliant move by Coventry.

Speaking after the game, the former West Bromwich Albion player praised his team but noted the disappointment of missing out on a win.

“Winning games and scoring is what I want to be doing and I wanted a good performance coming into this game. So, I am happy to get on the scoresheet. Obviously, it is bittersweet because we wanted to come out of it victorious. It is a tough one to take.” Thomas-Asante said.

Thomas-Asante arrived at Coventry City from Championship rivals WestBrom this summer and has scored two goals in his eight appearances for the club across all competitions.
