Patrick Agyemang scored twice to drive Derby County to a clear 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Monday night.
The American-Ghanaian striker struck in the 32nd and 62nd minutes, setting the tone for a confident Championship display and giving the travelling fans plenty to cheer.
Derby started with intent and Agyemang led the line with energy and strength. He opened the scoring with a calm left foot finish after Bobby Clark picked him out inside the box. The forward stayed lively, drawing three fouls and battling through heavy pressure even while losing several duels.
After the break, Liam Thompson doubled the lead from close range following a set piece. Agyemang then sealed the result with a sharp right foot strike from the centre of the area, finishing a move that showed Derby’s control.
Sheffield Wednesday enjoyed more of the ball but created little threat. Derby were clinical, posting higher threat and more shots. Agyemang left the pitch late on to applause. Derby now prepare for Portsmouth on December 20.
