Tolu Arokodare's landmark moment for Wolverhampton Wanderers arrived cloaked in the frustration of a familiar defeat. The Super Eagles striker, a deadline-day signing from Genk, came off the bench at the Emirates Stadium and announced his Premier League arrival with a late equaliser against Arsenal, briefly igniting hope for a beleaguered side.

His intervention, however, was ultimately undone by cruel fortune. After Arokodare's goal cancelled out an earlier own goal, a second devastating deflection gifted Arsenal a decisive advantage, condemning Wolves to a 2–1 loss. The Nigerian's personal milestone thus became a footnote in another chapter of Wolverhampton's ongoing plight.

The result extends a deeply concerning start to the season. With merely two points gathered from sixteen matches, the quest for a first league victory grows ever more urgent, leaving Arokodare's promising debut lost in the shadow of the league table's stark reality.
