Frank Lampard was full of admiration for Brandon Thomas-Asante after the Ghanaian attacker found the net again in Coventry City’s 3-1 win over Watford in the English Championship.
The forward’s tireless energy and growing consistency have made him one of the key figures in Lampard’s setup.
Thomas-Asante got Coventry off to a perfect start at the Coventry Building Society Arena, rising highest to head in a looping cross from Tatsuhiro Sakamoto just three minutes into the game. His sharp movement and finishing set the tone for another dominant display from the league leaders.
When asked about the attacker’s performance, Lampard told Coventry City TV: "Yes. I'm saying the same stuff week on week in week out of Brandon and it's good because he's working hard. He's he's got great energy and good quality. You seeing that we work a lot on him. We talk a lot with his positioning in the box. That's why I loved him being between the post, getting between defenders. He's confident, his energy is great on and off the ball. He just needs to continue. That's what top players do. And he's building and building and working so well with us on the training ground. And he needs to continue that. And such a big player for us now. And that's all he's doing."
Thomas-Asante has now scored nine goals in eleven matches, with three assists helping Coventry remain top of the table.
