English-born Ghanaian attacker, Brandon Thomas-Asante, was shown a red card in West Brom’s 1-0 defeat to Sunderland in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
The match, held at the Hawthorns, saw the two teams with a pre-game head-to-head record of 9 wins for West Brom, 3 wins for Sunderland, and 5 draws.
Thomas-Asante, who started the game, was given his marching orders in the 43rd minute after receiving a second yellow card for a rash challenge. This left West Brom with a man disadvantage for the remainder of the game.
Sunderland capitalized on this in the 45 + 2nd minute when Pierre Ekwah scored a left-footed shot from the center of the box, assisted by Callum Styles following a corner.
Despite the setback, Thomas-Asante has had a decent season, making 37 appearances, scoring 11 goals, and providing two assists in the league.
West Brom will look to bounce back from this defeat when they face Leicester City in their next league game.
