Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu stole a point for Udinese with a last-gasp strike as they held Hellas Verona to a 2-2 draw in the Italian Serie A on Saturday evening. 

The powerful midfielder has scored twice on a row and taken his season's tally to 5 goals in 27 games.

Verona were heading for a 2-1 win at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi until the Ghana international climbed off the bench to power a home a sensational low-volley to peck the scoring and earn a point for his side.

A strike in each halve from Luca Toni and Iceland international Emil Hallfreðsson gave the host a comfortable 2-0 lead but Antonio Di Natale halved the scoring with a powerful finish in the 56th minute and Badu settled the scores with a 92nd minute bullet.

The 23-year-old found himself some space inside the box to get on the end of a pass from Andrea Lazzari and he sent the ball into the bottom left corner with a trademarkk precision to break the hearts of the home fans.
