West Bromwich Albion staged a remarkable comeback against Watford, thanks to a late goal by Brandon Thomas-Asante and a stoppage-time equalizer by Darnell Furlong in a thrilling encounter at The Hawthorns.
The Baggies seemed to be heading for defeat, trailing 2-0 after goals from Edo Kayembe and Mileta Rajovic.
However, Thomas-Asante’s strike from inside the box in the final 20 minutes ignited a belief in the West Brom team, according to coach Carlos Corberán. The goal marked a significant turning point in the match, shifting the momentum in favor of the Baggies and sparking a relentless wave of attacks.
Corberán praised Thomas-Asante’s impact, stating, “After minute 52, I think we started to drop our normal level and they were using more spaces to their advantage. They then create chances and score two goals that made everything look very difficult to achieve something positive today,”
“But in football, you can never give up and in football the goals can change the feeling and momentum, for the fans and the players, and I think after Asante scored the first goal, the team with the fans and the players who came on off the bench, changed the momentum,” he added.
In the dying moments of the match, Furlong’s powerful shot from outside the penalty area secured a crucial point for West Brom, capping off a dramatic comeback.
