Tolu Arokdare believes the team needs to improve its goal-scoring rate, which is one of the team's long-term goals.


Tolu Arokdare said his experience at the Emirates Stadium felt familiar, as Wolves have conceded goals late in the game multiple times this season, costing them valuable points. The Nigerian striker, coming on as a substitute, scored his first Premier League goal against leaders Arsenal. His 90th-minute header briefly secured a point for Wolves, a result that, while unexpected, was well-deserved given the course of the match.  

 

However, a second own goal in the third minute of stoppage time rendered the attacking players' earlier goal futile. When the final whistle blew, he couldn't hide his disappointment. After the match, Tolu Arokdare said, "This result is heartbreaking, and this has been the case throughout our entire season. We insist on playing the full 90 minutes, but we always concede a goal in the final moments. I can't accurately describe the feeling, but it's really hard to accept."  

 

"This has been a recurring theme throughout the season, and it's not the first time we've conceded a goal in the final moments of a game. I think the team needs to improve in this area and maintain a high level of focus until the final whistle. This goal was definitely unfortunate for us; the opponent had a brilliant attack, and we also had some defensive issues."  

 

"Of course, there were many positive aspects to the match. We were facing the strongest team in the league, currently at the top of the table, and their first goal came from a corner kick, which had an element of luck. We then equalized, but they scored again in the final moments. There are many positive aspects to this match that we can learn from, and we will focus more on the good rather than the bad. Next, we will face Brentford and hope to win the game."  

 

"It's clear that we need to improve our goal-scoring efficiency. The team hasn't scored many goals in recent matches, which is something we're constantly working on to improve. In the second half, we created some chances and were capable of scoring, but luck wasn't on our side, either offensively or defensively. Hopefully, we can score more goals in the upcoming matches, and the situation will change accordingly."
