Why Arokodare's landmark goal brings hope for Wolves' troubled season
Tolu Arokodare's first goal for Wolves in a crucial EFL Cup win over Everton could provide a much-needed spark for the struggling team in the Premier League.
What Arokodare said
After scoring, Arokodare explained the celebration to Sky Sports. "Whenever I score, it is TEA time. It is my time," he said.
"I started it when I was playing in Amiens, in France. It motivates me. I just have to keep scoring, keep putting the celebration out there," he added.
The celebration is a nod to his initials, Tolu Emmanuel Arokodare and has gained popularity among fans in Nigeria and on social media.

Arokodare, who joined from Genk on transfer deadline day, has had a challenging but rewarding career. Visa problems complicated early trials in Germany and France, but a move to Valmiera in Latvia proved to be a turning point.
He later played for Amiens before moving to Genk, where he scored 24 goals last season to become the joint-top scorer in the Belgian top division.
Arokodare admitted the physicality of the league surprised him, comparing his initial matches to "WWE." Despite the tough start, he remains optimistic about Wolves' prospects for the season.
As Wolves look to climb the league table, Arokodare is determined to contribute, beginning with the upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
