Wolverhampton Wanderers’ struggles in the Premier League have left them staring at an unwanted piece of history, but striker Tolu Arokodare has offered a spark of belief after opening his account in English football, Footynaija.com reports.
Wolves are bottom of the table with five defeats from five, and face Tottenham next knowing another loss would make them just the fourth team in Premier League history to start a season with six straight defeats.
The club’s poor start has been marked by slim margins and painful lapses. Defensive errors have cost them in tight games, while their attack has failed to click.

Wolves have scored only three league goals so far, conceding 12 in return, with the departures of Matheus Cunha and Rayan Aït-Nouri leaving a gap in quality that has not yet been filled. The pressure has grown on Vítor Pereira’s side, who need a lift before their season spirals further.
That lift may have arrived in midweek as Wolves beat Everton 2-0 in the Carabao Cup at Molineux. Marshall Munetsi opened the scoring, before Arokodare came off the bench to seal the win with a composed finish late on.
It was his first goal for the club, a neat chip over Everton keeper Mark Travers after João Gomes’ through ball, and it came at the right moment for both player and team.
After the match, the Nigerian striker turned to social media to connect with fans. Posting on X, he wrote: “First goal in gold and we pray for more. Next round let’s go!!”
For a forward adjusting to the demands of the Premier League after his move from Genk, the goal is a statement that he is ready to shoulder responsibility in attack.
