The lion. �s share of the match was played with intensity, but that call changed the complexion.. � Sunderland, who had taken the lead through a clinical strike, were forced to dig deep and eventually conceded the equaliser against a Wolves side buoyed by their numerical advantage. Arokodare, the Nigerian forward who has been making waves in the Championship since his loan move to Wolves, was left with a sore scalp but no serious injury. His presence on the pitch for the full 90 minutes was a testament to his resilience, and local fans in Lagos would have been glued to their screens at viewing centres in Surulere and Ikeja, shouting. �E no be wetin we expect!. � when the red card flashed. They would have debated for hours whether the referee. �s decision was fair, with many arguing that Arokodare. �s Super Eagles connection made him a marked man.
