Super Eagles striker, Tolu Arokodare, earned praise from Wolves manager Rob Edwards despite the club’s defeat to Chelsea in Saturday’s Premier League encounter.
Arokodare got on the scoresheet in the 54th minute, reducing the deficit to 3-1 with a sharp finish from close range after Chelsea failed to properly deal with a cross into the box.
Chelsea had already taken control of the contest in the first half, with Cole Palmer netting a hat-trick to put the hosts firmly in charge.
Speaking after the match, the Wolves boss said, “We’re trying to change things, and we’re trying to progress in the hardest league in the world. The window’s been quite busy with outs. There’s a couple of fresh lads that have come in, who I thought were excellent.
“Like all of us, we’re trying to progress and move forward and get better. Great for him. Really, really good. He did some really good things today and worked hard for the team.”
The strike against Chelsea was Arokodare’s second goal in 20 Premier League appearances this season, following his first in the loss to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
