Ghanaian winger Brandon Thomas-Asante netted a consolation goal for Coventry City in their narrow 2-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur during a thrilling EFL Cup match on Wednesday night.

Thomas-Asante opened the scoring in the 63rd minute, capitalizing on a precise cross from teammate Bassette to give Coventry a surprising lead. The Sky Blues appeared on the verge of an upset, holding their advantage until the 88th minute, when Tottenham’s Djed Spence equalized.

In stoppage time, Spurs completed their comeback as Brennan Johnson sealed the victory with a counter-attack goal, leaving Coventry disappointed. Despite the loss, Thomas-Asante’s second goal in the competition highlighted his growing influence on the team, who will now focus on their upcoming Championship match against Swansea City on September 21.
