The Super Eagles striker netted in the 87th minute, putting the game beyond doubt following Marshall Munetsi’s opener in the 29th minute.

The victory offers some much-needed relief for Wolves, who had endured their worst start to a Premier League season in history, losing all five opening league games and sitting bottom of the table.

This includes a narrow 3-2 defeat at home to Everton earlier in the season.

Manager Vitor Pereira’s experience remains a beacon of hope for the club as they look to halt their slide and regain form.

Munetsi’s goal came midway through the first half after goalkeeper Mark Travers parried a smart volley from Jhon Arias.

Wolves’ keeper Sam Johnstone also made a crucial save from Michael Keane’s header, while Everton’s James Garner saw a second-half free-kick strike the bar as the visitors pressed for a comeback.

Wolves’ £23 million summer signing from Genk, Arokodare, sealed the win with a neat chip in the closing minutes, delighting fans and boosting the club’s confidence.

Jack Grealish, who came off the bench for Everton, nearly pulled one back but the Wolves defence held firm.
