English-born Ghanaian attacker Brandon Thomas-Asante was on target in West Bromwich Albion comfortable 2-0 win over Queens Park Rangers in the English Championship on Tuesday evening.
Queens Park Rangers' winless run was extended to eight games to pile on the pressure on boss Gareth Ainsworth as his luckless Hoops lost to two second-half goals by West Bromwich Albion.
After a dreadful first half, the game all hinged on a 58th-minute incident in which Albion were awarded a controversial penalty before Jimmy Dunne was sent off for arguing about it.
After Grady Diangana was adjudged to have been brought down by Kenneth Paal, several QPR players showed dissent - and referee James Bell issued centre-back Dunne with a second yellow card to earn the Rangers defender his early exit.
Brandon Thomas-Asante brutally slammed a right-foot penalty for his fourth goal of the season - but his first since August.
Then, just nine minutes later, Diangana drilled the Albion second from close range to complete the Baggies' fifth league win of the season and elevate them into the top six.
Thomas-Asante enjoyed the entire duration of the game with a sterling performance against Queens Park Rangers
He has scored three goals and provided an assist in 11 league appearances for West Bromwich Albion this season so far.
