The goals are continuing to come in this new year for American forward Patrick Agyemang.
Agyemang scored his second goal of 2026 and his eighth goal overall this season in Friday’s 1-1 EFL Championship draw with West Bromwich Albion. The U.S. men’s national team forward opened the scoring at Pride Park before a 96th-minute equalizer from West Brom’s Chris Mepham shared the spoils between the two clubs.
Agyemang boosted the host Rams in front before halftime, benefitting from an error from Baggies goalkeeper Max Leary. Leary failed to claim a corner kick ahead of first-half stoppage time, allowing Agyemang to pounce on the loose ball and slot home.
Derby County tried to hang on for a crucial three points at home but West Brom would strike at the death to earn itself one road point. Mepham headed home at the back post to make it 1-1, ending West Brom’s 11-match road losing streak in league play.
Agyemang now has eight goals and three assists in 27 appearances for the Rams since joining from Charlotte FC last summer.
Derby County will next travel to Bristol City on January 30, seeking to stay in the top-six picture.
On a roll for 2026. He had some good moments in the game, but was visibly worn down by the 80th minute from the amount of running he did.
The whole team ran out of gas. They were dominating until the last 10 minutes, should have taken. 3 pts.

I watched Downs first half, basically non-existent.
