Ghana forward Brandon Thomas-Asante continued his fine run of form with a decisive brace as Coventry City sealed a 2-1 victory over Portsmouth in the English Championship at Fratton Park.
The 25-year-old proved to be the difference for the visitors, scoring in both halves to secure all three points for his side.
Thomas-Asante opened the scoring in the 30th minute after being teed up by Ellis Simms, before linking up with the same teammate again in the 56th minute to complete his brace.
Although Makenzie Kirk pulled one back for Portsmouth deep into injury time, it was too late to change the outcome as Coventry held on for their fifth straight league win.
Thomas-Asante’s double takes his tally to eight goals in 11 appearances, underlining his importance in Coventry’s push for Premier League promotion.
The victory keeps Coventry City at the summit of the Championship table with 25 points, maintaining their impressive early-season momentum.
Thomas-Asante will look to extend his scoring streak when Coventry welcome Watford to the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday.
