The striker pounced before half-time when he met Andi Weimann's cross, which cancelled out Adam Armstrong's early opener for Southampton in a fascinating clash.

Agyemang (above) has scored a goal and registered two assists in his first five games, having missed the start of the campaign as he recovered from a double hernia.
