English-born Ghanaian attacker Brandon Thomas-Asante scored his sixth goal of the season in West Bromwich Albion 2-2 home draw with Queens Park Rangers in the English Championship.

Chris Martin's opportunistic second-half goal gave Queens Park Rangers a potentially vital point and damaged West Bromwich Albion's Championship play-off hopes as the visitors recovered from two goals down to draw at The Hawthorns.

Goalkeeper Josh Griffiths' attempted clearance ricocheted into the net off Martin to end QPR's four-match losing run and ensure they moved two points clear of the relegation zone.
 
Familiar frailties initially cost the R's when they allowed John Swift's early free-kick to curl into the path of Brandon Thomas-Asante at the far post, who nudged the delivery over the line for his eighth goal of the season in all competitions.
 
Seeking a first win in four matches, West Brom swiftly capitalised on more unconvincing defending as Semi Ajayi poked in from close range after goalkeeper Seny Dieng parried Swift's shot across goal.
 
QPR looked short on confidence and conviction following a run of nine defeats in 10 matches but Lyndon Dykes changed the momentum of the game by replying less than 10 minutes later, expertly guiding an emphatic header into the far corner of the net from Ilias Chair's inviting right-wing cross.
 
The forward's first away goal of the campaign seemed to unsettle West Brom, who were playing at home on Easter Monday for the first time since a goalless draw with Bolton Wanderers in 2006.
 
Carlos Corberan's side threatened when Conor Townsend skimmed an angled effort wide before Martin's leveller.
 
The result leaves West Brom 11th, five points behind sixth-placed Blackburn and a play-off place.
