Carlton Morris reacts to big Patrick Agyemang moment for Derby County - he's a 'beast' | OneFootball

Carlton Morris has congratulated Patrick Agyemang after the Rams forward headed in his 10th goal of the season on Saturday afternoon.

Derby County returned to winning ways on Saturday afternoon, as they picked up just their fifth home victory of the season against Swansea City at Pride Park.

John Eustace's side had not picked up three points on their own patch since New Year's Day, but a strong second-half performance against Vitor Matos' team saw the Rams score twice without a reply and make their way back into the top six.

Rhian Brewster scored his third goal in three games to open the scoring shortly after the break, before Patrick Agyemang continued his impressive run of form in black-and-white with an excellent headed finish from a superb Callum Elder corner.

The American has been a breath of fresh air at Pride Park in 2025/26, and he has been a real force of nature since Carlton Morris was ruled out through injury. However, with Derby's number nine now back in action, he has sent a message to his teammate after his landmark strike against Swansea.

Carlton Morris sends message to Patrick Agyemang after 10th Derby County goal

Agyemang has now matched Morris as the top scorer for the Rams this season, as he notched in his 10th goal of the campaign at the weekend. The 25-year-old has impressed greatly in the last few months, and has fully adapted to life in the Championship.

Six of his 10 strikes have come from his head, and at 6ft 4in, it's a clear asset that Derby have found an excellent way of making great use of. Now, he will be looking to continue his own personal run of form and keep his side in the play-off places.

He has the backing of fellow striker Morris, who replied to Agyemang's Instagram post after Saturday's victory, praising him for his milestone. The 30-year-old said: "DOUBLE FIGURESS 🔥🔥❤️ beast."

Morris himself returned after nearly four months out with a foot injury, coming on as a last-minute substitute to see the victory out. There was a standing ovation and an almighty roar from the Pride Park stands as their talisman returned, and he will be looking for even more game time against Watford this weekend.

Patrick Agyemang is doing all he can to get in the USA World Cup squad

This is a crucial season for Agyemang, as his country prepares for a home World Cup, and he will be extremely keen to live out a childhood dream and represent his nation in this summer's tournament.

His current run of goals will only help him in his quest to sway Mauricio Pochettino's mind to put him in the USA squad.

After signing for a reported £5.8m initial fee, there has been plenty of pressure on the former Charlotte FC man's shoulders to deliver for Derby, and he has done so on a consistent basis since building his fitness up after a hernia operation.
