Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare was among the goalscorer as Wolverhampton Wanderers recorded a dominant 6–1 victory over Shrewsbury Town in their FA Cup clash on Saturday.
The forward, who came on in the second half, made a strong impact and capped Wolves impressive performance by scoring the sixth goal deep into stoppage time, calmly finishing after a swift attacking move to put the game beyond any doubt.
Wolves had already taken firm control of the match earlier, with Jørgen Strand Larsen leading the scoring and the home side enjoying most of the possession and attacking threat. But Arokodare’s late strike added extra gloss to the scoreline and underlined his growing confidence in front of goal.
For the Super Eagles attacker, the goal will come as a major boost as he continues to fight for more minutes and establish himself in the squad. His physical presence and sharp movement caused problems for the Shrewsbury defence after his introduction, and his composure in front of goal showed why Wolves see him as a valuable attacking option.
Wolves convincing win secures their place in the next round of the FA Cup, while Arokodare’s contribution will be encouraging news for Nigerian fans keeping close tabs on the striker’s progress in England.
