Result is testament to our spirit - Thomas-Asante

Coventry City striker Brandon Thomas-Asante says his side had to be "resilient" in their 2-1 win against Portsmouth at Fratton Park.

The 26-year-old scored both of the goals for the Sky Blues, pushing his tally up to eight for the season in just 11 games.

"We know that when we go 1-0 up it is not done - that is how we suffered last season - so we had to be resilient the whole way through," he told BBC Radio CWR.

"This result is testament to our spirit. This season and through the end of last season, we are learning how to get results from a variety of different games."

The Ghanaian international is enjoying his football under head coach Frank Lampard at the moment, scoring five goals in his last three outings for the Sky Blues.

"There are a lot of reasons why I have been playing better. Last season I was suffering with a few injuries and I was trying to play through that.

"It was my first season so I wanted to try and be out there as much as possible but when you're not 100% it is really frustrating.

"It is not to do with just me, the other players are making it really easy and I am so grateful to have these team-mates.

"I just have to keep going because anything can happen tomorrow."
