Nigerian forward Tolu Arokodare equalled a notable Ajax scoring record after scoring in Sunday’s 2-2 Eredivisie draw away to FC Twente.
Arokodare reaches Ajax landmark
The 25-year-old put Ajax ahead after only three minutes at De Grolsch Veste, meeting Oscar Gloukh’s delivery with a header.
- Arokodare became just the second Ajax player to score in six of his opening seven Eredivisie starts for the club.
- The previous instance of that achievement came in the 1994/95 campaign.
- He has now scored in five straight appearances, producing six goals over that run.
Twente recover from two-goal deficit
Ajax appeared to be in control when Rayane Bounida extended the visitors’ advantage in the 66th minute.
- FC Twente pulled one back through an own goal from Dies Janse.
- Wout Weghorst then struck from the penalty spot in stoppage time to rescue a 2-2 draw for the home side.
