‘Go and Score’: Arokodare on Edwards’ Pep Talk That Sparked Brentford Heroics
Tolu Arokodare made a stunning impact for Wolves in their 2–2 draw with Brentford. Introduced in the 75th minute, the Nigerian striker needed just three minutes to head in Joao Gomes’ precise cross and rescue a vital point. Reflecting on the moment, Arokodare revealed that manager Rob Edwards urged him to “go and try and score”. “We were creating chances and needed a presence,” he told Sky Sports. “I’m glad I could deliver.” He came close to snatching all three points late on, when his thunderous header rattled the post from Jackson Tchatchoua’s cross. “It would have been great if those chances went in, but we will take the point,” he added. Brentford had taken a two-goal lead through Michael Kayode and Igor Thiago before Wolves hit back via Adam Armstrong. Arokodare’s summer move from Genk has already yielded three league goals this season.
