Wolves got back to winning ways last night, and booked their place in the next round of the Carabao Cup after beating Everton.
Wolves were much improved at Molineux against the Toffees, with Vitor Pereira changing the system to a back four.
It was a move not many saw coming, but one that we could well be seeing again moving forwards.
Marshall Munetsi put Wolves ahead in the first-half, and Wolves then had to dig in in the second-half as Everton sought to respond.
Wolves, so bad defensively in recent weeks, stood firm though, and then Tolu Arokodare managed to grab his first goal in old gold.
And after the game, Arokodare sent a message to fans on Instagram to mark the occasion.
Tolu Arokodare sends message after brilliant first goal for Wolves
Arokodare lacked impact against Leeds United at the weekend, but in fairness he was not the only one.
It was probably no surprise to see Jorgen Strand Larsen start ahead of him against Everton.
But the Norwegian was never going to play a full game, so it was important for the Nigerian to come on and make an impact.
And that he did, latching onto a through ball from Joao Gomes before dinking the ball over Mark Travers in the Everton goal.
It was a lovely finish, and after the game Pereira admitted he didn’t expect Arokodare to finish that way, hailing the striker’s confidence.
Arokodare will now seek to add to this goal, and open his Premier League account as soon as possible.
After the game, Arokodare took to social media to send a message to fans, saying on Instagram: “First goal in gold and we pray for more. Next round let’s go!! #teatime 🫖☕️”
Wolves players must find Arokodare in space
It was a very impressive finish from Arokodare, and the goal now for those attacking Wolves players should be to try and find him in similar positions.
The Nigerian is clearly a decent goalscorer.
Last term he scored 23 goals across all competitions for Genk, so it’s all about supplying him.
It is great to see that Wolves have another striker in addition to Strand Larsen who is capable of scoring, and potentially he could be a really important addition this term.
Arokodare still needs to fully get up to speed, but hopefully this won’t take too long and he can make a big impact for Wolves.
