Arokodare scores again as Ajax draws with Twente

Tolu Arokodare kept up his scoring streak for Ajax. He scored his seventh goal of the season in the Eredivisie during their 2-2 draw with FC Twente on Sunday.

The Nigerian striker found the net early, just three minutes into the game. He jumped above his defender to head in a goal and put Ajax ahead.

But Ajax could not maintain their lead. They ended up giving away a two-goal advantage, settling for a draw against Twente. Substitute Rayane Bounida made it 2-0 for Ajax in the 66th minute. He hit a powerful shot from outside the box that beat goalkeeper Joël Drommel.

Twente quickly responded. Two minutes later, Dies Janse accidentally headed a corner into his own net, which cut Ajax's lead.

The hosts completed their comeback during stoppage time. After a VAR review, they were awarded a penalty for Lucas Rosa’s challenge on Ramiz Zerrouki. Wout Weghorst stepped up and scored from the spot, ending the match in a 2-2 draw.

This result meant Ajax missed the chance to go to the top of the Eredivisie. They now sit one point behind the leaders, PSV.

For Arokodare, this goal showed his growing impact in Dutch football. He now has 13 goals and four assists in 17 games across all competitions.

His seventh league goal of the season also strengthens his chances for a permanent move from Wolves, where he is currently on loan.
