Patrick Agyemang crossed off another first off of his list at Derby County.
Agyemang scored twice on Monday in the Rams’ 3-0 road victory over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough. The former Charlotte FC striker celebrated his first brace in English football and his first overall since May while still an MLS player.
John Eustace’s squad struck first in the 32nd minute as Agyemang took advantage of some sloppy Sheffield Wednesday passing. A poor back pass from Pierce Charles was pounced on by Bobby Clark before an upfield pass to Agyemang led to the American’s low drive into the bottom-right corner.
Derby County extended its lead to 2-0 in the 57th minute as Liam Thompson doubled the Rams lead following a set-piece situation.
Agyemang would add the Rams’ third and final goal of the night, roofing a right-footed shot past Charles and into the top of the net after 62 minutes.
It marked Agyemang’s fifth goal of the season for the Rams.
Agyemang played 88 minutes in the match, drawing three fouls, and registered three shots on target. The 25-year-old earned Man of the Match honors as Derby County jumped up to 12th place in the league standings.
Up next for Eustace’s men is a home date with Portsmouth on Saturday before back-to-back trips to Birmingham City and Leicester City to close their 2025 schedule.
Thats why he is still in the mix for a WC spot. Only 3 goals behind Wright.
