Patrick Agyemang’s positive run in the starting line -up of Derby County continued on Saturday for the loyal Pride Park.
Agaremang scored his first goal for the club in a 1-1 EFL championship draw with Southampton. The national team of the American men Vooruit entered the match of Saturday with two assists and now added his first goal for the Rams.
The clinical finish of Adam Armstrong after seven minutes pushed the visiting saints 1-0 forward, but Derby County would fight back before the break.
The dangerous cross from Andreas Wiemann to the back post was finished by a highly large Agyemang. The former Charlotte FC defeated his defensive marker and went home in the top left corner.
Agaremang would play 79 minutes in the game before he was replaced by Kayden Jackson. However, neither clubs would find a winning goal and had to settle for part of the loot.
After waiting for four performances for his first goal, Agyemang was visibly satisfied when he was asked about celebrating the moment.
“I thought it was great,” Aferemang said in an interview with Postmatch Club. “Wait a bit at the moment and to do it at home for the stands is definitely a good time. It is a blessing.
“We talked about it, I am also a tall man with an air presence,” he added. “I saw the ball and the flight and I said,” It’s my ball “. Still not 100% since I arrived here and my operation out of season, but I am getting closer to the player I want to be. With the support in the team they put me on for success.”
Derby County Manager John Eustace has previously praised the work percentage of Agyemang to get back in full fitness and admitted that his goal was a special moment for the entire club.
“It means a lot for everyone, Patrick is a special boy,” Eustace said. “He adjusts to the championship, it is his third game in a week and he was tired, but his last third skills came out. The efforts he has put in the past three games has been huge and he will only get better. This is what we are talking about if players come in and get their full fitness. We are going to have some super players.”
AGYEMANG now goes back to the United States for USMNT obligation for friendly matches against Ecuador and Australia.
The 20th place Derby County will resume its league schedule on October 18 against Oxford United before closing the month with back-to-back home games against Norwich City and QPR.
