The Lowdown: Cup drama

da fezbet： Thomas-Asante bagged a last-gasp equaliser to save Championship side West Brom’s blushes after a frustrating afternoon against National League side Chesterfield.

The 24-year-old opened the scoring for the Baggies only two minutes in to set them on their way to what they hoped would’ve been a cruise against a side three leagues lower.

However, in the spirit of the FA Cup the hosts turned a 1-0 and 2-1 losing position round to lead at half-time and all the way into deep stoppage time until Thomas-Asante rescued a replay for Carlos Corberan’s side.

The Latest: Cox’s praise

Speaking after the full-time whistle had gone at the Technique Stadium, Cox gave his brief post-match analysis on the Express & Star YouTube channel where he praised the performance of West Brom’s hero of the day.

(1:04) “He’s further enhanced his reputation today, top scorer isn’t he, Thomas-Asante now, seven I believe, he was on five before today.”

“Great effort from him today and I think he’s been just about the only one who can leave here with his head held high,” Cox said.

The Verdict: Man of the moment

Asante-Thomas is becoming a reliable figure under his new boss with five goals scored in just 11 games under the Spaniard, taking his overall total this season to 12 in all competitions following a fruitful run at Salford City in August which earned him the move to the Championship.

He took the opener spectacularly as he rifled a half-volley into the roof of the net before his injury-time jailbreaking goal was a clinically guided header in the far top corner after timing his run perfectly.

With a trip to fellow play-off rivals Luton Town to come next Saturday it’ll be interesting to see if Corberan backs the club’s top-scorer to continue his form.
