Tolu Arokodare is quickly becoming the most feared marksman in the Eredivisie. The Super Eagles striker continued his blistering run of form on Saturday, October 31, 2026, firing Ajax Amsterdam to a crucial victory over arch-rivals AZ Alkmaar at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
Fresh off his Man of the Match performance, the 25-year-old forward proved once again why he is undroppable, netting his third consecutive goal in as many games to give the Amsterdam giants an early advantage.
It took Arokodare just nine minutes to break the deadlock in this high-stakes Dutch derby. Rewarding his manager’s faith with a start leading the line, the former Genk star showed lethal penalty-box instincts:
The Breakthrough: Rising majestically to meet a pinpoint cross from Abdellah Ouazane, Arokodare powered a thunderous header past the helpless AZ Alkmaar goalkeeper.
All-Round Dominance: Beyond the opening goal, his elite aerial presence and clever movement terrorized the opposition backline all afternoon, ultimately earning him the Man of the Match accolades as Ajax secured all three points.
Arokodare’s scoring touch shows zero signs of cooling down. His remarkable stats highlight an incredible debut stretch with the Dutch giants:
Scoring Streak: Goals in three consecutive matches alongside a recent assist.
Eredivisie Tally: 6 league goals.
Overall Output: 10 goals and 3 assists (13 total goal contributions) across just 15 appearances in all competitions.
With confidence at an all-time high and his finishing sharper than ever, Tolu Arokodare has firmly established himself as Ajax’s ultimate talisman as the season heats up.
